Studebaker Vehicles
When buying Groceries, Hardware or Implements, I have always
found Kings a pretty good place to trade. They have a large
stock of first class goods, which are sold at a reasonable profit,
and whenever anything bought at their store, does prove defective,
are more than anxious to make it right. They don't sell toma
toes for 8 cts. a can and then crowd the price up on something
else. If vou are not now trading with The w. F. King Co., I
suggest that you give them a trial.
The above is the universal opinion of our customers. Are you
one of them.
