There is very good authority for the belief that tho legislature is empowered, when it meets here next January, to reenact state dry laws, wiped off The hysteria-breeding Incidents referred to aro many.

To it might well be added "and im measurably greater ability to serve." For, great as has been the service rendered the consuming public by these two organizations operating separately the service made possible by their union is even greater. Imagine the purchasing power of an institu tion having annual sales of approximately $60, 000,000 five million dollars a month or over $192,000 each business day. Our stores sell more foods in a single day than six average grocery stores soil in an entire year! .Think of it! , ' ' With such "a Volume we can and do own bur" ; goods at unMievably largo savings and while still making money ourselves pass these enor mous savings along to you. Every unnecessary middleman is eliminated every piratical tribute that has heretofore been levied along the route from producer to consumer is brushed aside and every wasteful operation in the process of get ting the necessaries . of life into your home is . abolished. . ' ? We do not claim that ours is the most perfect system of distribution that can .be devised we ': only say that it is the most perfect and most eco- nomical now in existence. We live in an age of constantly changing conditions particularly in the business world and wheri we, or others, can, think of a more economical or more efficient ays tern we will be ready to adopt it. ..-, In the meantime we invite you to avail yourself of the savings that will be apparent the' moment you enter one of our stores remembering, al ways, that quality and efficient service are two things we will never sacrifice for the sake of price.
