Come in. let’s get acquainted, it may do us both good.
Come in and nee if we haven’t a better store and Ix'tter stock of
goods than you expected to find.
Come in and see if we don’t carry a Ix’tter quality of goods and a
larger assortment than any other store in Crook county.
Come in and see if we don’t take care of the needs of the ladies just
as well as we do those of the men.
We want you to sex* these things for yourself to he your own judge.
We know that our store is "T h e Highest in Quality, Lowest in
Price," and we want you to know it.
So again we say, "Come In and Sex’.”
