Boots cash Chemists

[Mosaic]

As in http://www.1museumstr.../wdia/shops/01a_3.htm

Can anyone help me with an explanation of the 'cash' part of the name?
All I can find online are numerous descriptions of the lawsuit used in contracct law courses....but why was Boots entitled 'Boots Cash Chemists?'

Simply to stress that there was no credit given it seems ............ http://www.me.boots.c...ot_era/1871-1884.aspx
