I am the SOLE OWNER of the market, and the Burns people have nothing to do with the business. I make this statement in justice to myself and the Bums people. My prices show that I am conducting a meat market on lines that economical people can afford to pay. Here are a few sample prices at our Redmond Market that we offer for your inspection, and assure you that prices of other kinds of meat are as low in proportion: Choice Pot Roasts and Boils - Rib Boils - Best Pork, any cut and chops • Shoulder Steaks . . . .
