That's why this R. C. U. store is constantly paining in volume of business
and our list of satisfied customers is growing larger each month because of
our ability to give and the fact that we do give better values for your money
in every line.
We Invite Comparison of Our Methods,
Our 'Merchandise and Our Prices
Here you will find tflfc most complete stock of high grade merchandise in
Eastern Oregon, bought lower than any firm or organization, excepting R. C.
U. stores, can hope to buy and priced at the closest possible margin of
profit.
It is true that costs of merchandise in most every line have advanced and are
still advancing but with our foresight in placing large contracts with mills
and manufacturers through the R. O. V. we are offering many lines at prices
even lower than present wholesale prices.
We will not sell cheap merchandise in order to Hiiold down prices in any line
as we do not believe in resorting to such methods but on the, contrary
you will always find good, honest merchandise with our guarantee of satis
faction in every department. '
If you are a customer of this store, you are already acquainted with these facts
but if you are not our customer ydu are losing money every day by not
acquainting yourself with this R. C. IJ. store, and our better values, better
methods and lower prices.
