THE GROCERY QUESTION
Is one that every good house wife is interested
in. The question where to buy the best gro
ceries at the lowest price is a topic discussed in
every household. We have made the grocery
business a special study and know where to buy
goods and how to buy them. We have made
prices as low as good goods can be sold for.
