Save Those Pennies
If by buying your various Groceries you can save
a penny on your butter, a peiluy on a package of
seeds, i penny bu a can of condensed milk or a bar
of soap, a pound of lard, perhaps several pennies on
a cau of syrup or a can of cooking oil, are those pen
nies not worth saving? Do they not make the dol
lars grow when you know you must buy those arti
cles aud many more every week, almost every daye
Just Bgure it this way: If your Grocery purchases
amount to $30.00 monthly aud you save fifteen per
cent on that amount by buying at The Grabateria
Cash and Carry Grocery, at the end of the year
you would have saved the price of a $50.00 Victory
Bond and $4.00 over.
These are not simply sales-talks, just simply plain
matter-of-fact statements. Think about it. Act on
our suggestion and try dealing with us for cash, then
compare your mouth's purchase with that of your
charge account elsewhere.

The second Sunday in May
has been set aaido as "Mothers'
Day" throughout the entire
country, lhe day may be ob
served by wearing the carna
tion; doing some act of kind
ness: the writing of a letter to
tho mother faraway; by a small
gift or tribute to tho loved one.
How much we owe to mother.
she who loved us first! Others
may como and creep into our
heart and fill it wiMi a love
that is almojt pain, but in its
holy of holies there is kept a
chamber inviolate for mother.
Whatever of good, of gentleness,
of generous impulse that has
blossomed in our lives, to her
should be given credit. So today
if mother is still living, let us
lay our votive offerings at her
feet. If she is in the land of
dreams, let us offer up a bless
ing that we are privileged to
have such a sacred memory.
