LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER w LOW PRICES ON HIGH GRADE MERCHANDISE whichwas introduced by "THE HUB" in the city of La Grande as well as other cities where we operate, has re4 need the cost of living. Here are several reason s why we can offer the lowest prices. ', We buy Drummers' Samples at a discount so that we can sell them at the regular wholesale price and still make a profit. By doing a strictly cash business enables us to run on a smaller capital and also avoid the necessary losses which are connected with any credit system. It is impossible for any . one merchant to handle the sample lines of a large manufacturer. For the quantity is so great, and quantity is what talks to the manufacturer. But when divided among the 16 Hub Stores, it becomes a simple matter without over stocking an, y of the stores. These and other facts are what 1 makes it possible for us to offer the following prices. ... -...j s FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1914 SAMPLE GLOVES CARSON, OSBORN & McKIBBIN SAMPLE LINES.
