Beliering that the present want of merchants from all Bections of the country, is the best and most de¬ sirable Gooda, af the lowest prioea, and knowing that thta want cannot be met under tbe old system of Long Credits and Long Profits, G. W.& Co. hare adopted the following as tbolr terms:
A uniform credit of six months to merchants of good standing. , '
Six per cent, dlsoount for cash,when paid wlthlO days from date of bills.
TwelTB per oent. dhioount la the rate allowed for money paid In adrance at maturity.
Br these terms, they are enahled to buy their stock in Enxope, and will leU theii goods at a SmaU Advance oh the Foreign Oost.
Feeling satisfied that the system of Short Credits and Shott Prioes is the beat for both the buyer and Hilar, (there being then bnt one Small Profit^ between the western merohant and the European aianufactur- ers,) tbqy earnestly ask an inspection of tbeir stock.
