Three Months Experience
Three months experience iu serving Grocer
ies to this community on a strictly cash basis has
taught us that we are doing a real service to our
patrons. Any Grocery Store that demands the
cash from its customers, aud gets it, is in a po
sition to sell the goods at choser prices than
when selling on time. Any one knows, who
stops to think, that all the red tape required in
doing a time business can be eliminated. There
is no bookkeeper to pay, no shrinkage of ac
counts, no passing of discounts if we do not reach
beyond our capital. The Grabateria commands
a volume, of sales that enables quantity buying
that cannot be enjoyed by smaller stores. The
Grabateria Cash and Carry Store passes along
tht good buys p the consumer and in that way
the owners feel that a service is being given the
community and serving (he community in which
one lives should be considered an honor.

Writes From Liverpool
L. N. Bellinger is In receint
of tho following from his Bon,
Gordon, dated at Liverpool, England:
Dear Father: Now that tho
war is over and wo will soon bo
on our way home, thought I would
writo once moro from Liverpool.
We don't know just what Is go
ing to bo done, but it is either
Franco or New York, Some of
the casual and sick or wounded
are sailing now, and in all prob
ability we will be on our home
ward journey by the 5th of De
cember. I don't know whether
Wilbur will beat me thoro or
not. I had my last lotter from
him nearly a month ago, and
they were still at the same placo
in f ranee. Iho Kaiser seems
to still live, but I think they will
have him as soon as peace is fi
nally signed. I don't want to
find that he has beat the gun,
but do hope he gets all that's
coming to him. I hopo we are
not the very last troop to leave
for home, but it sure lookBSl ike we
would be among the last to leave.
I am with K. Satterlee from St.
Johns tonight at tho American
G here In town. We are going
to London via Scotland on a fur
lough if we are to be the last to
leave. We have been living on
white bread again at camp since
the armistice but as we are pret
ty well fed now we are not so
hungry for it as we wero some
time ago. On tho 11th of next
month wo will be over here just
one year.
