PAOE EIGTIT i .... t . t ,- Why Not Save On Drugs? Pay cash and save from 23 to 35 per cent on every article in our store, ex cept patent medicines. We sell strictly for Cash after November First. "Wo find, for a variety of reasons, that it will be necessary for us to discontinue the credit system. Therefore, after No-: vcniber 1, we shall sell strictly for cash. In adopting the latter plan we will 'make no exceptions, as plain justice re quires that if we decline to give credit to one we should do so to all. Wo -foil confident our customers will readily adapt themselves to tho new system and believe that we will in due season be able to give them practical evidence that the cash plan is best for everybody concerned. i La Grande Pharmacy Quick Delivery Phone Main 40v Ln Orande, Oregon ' J 2 ! ; THREE POINTS IN THE : WAR' CHEST. !
