The fallacies of the present day are numerous as the heads of the ancient Hydra, and not the least amongst them is the prevalent idea that Cheap Goods are profitable. Far from it. The most foolish action a stranger can do is to purchase at cheap, showy establishments, where are sold Low-priced and Inferior Articles. There is not a grander business truth than this, "Quality, the true test of Value," which we have adopted as our sign manual and business motto.
