' Stores have come and stores have gone since then, many with special and supposedly irresistible attractions and flow ery offerings, but in business as in life's daily duties, it is performance and not promises that win and he who gives a dollar's worth of merchandise and service for eacn doifar he receives will be here to serve you when the other fellow has followed the crowd of the 90 per cent who fail to make good in the grocery business. Special trade stimulants for today do not always help in the days to come, and in fact, are not necessary. Your bus iness is founded on the old-fashioned but ever new principle of a square deal to every man every day in the week. Special advertising schemes arc rarelv ever offered to benefit the consumer and seldom prove advantageous to the merchant, leaving the promoter as the only one who profits by these du bious deals.
