O. 11 SUCCESS IN BUSINESS Is attained by the use 6t' good sound common sense. The merchant who gives fair, honest values for the price never will be without plenty of customers. While we will always meet the price, of "bait" mer chants to cash trade, we never resort to fake sales or any other deoeptions to attract trade. Our ap peals are to your pocket book, and we give the best all-round values. The average man or woman has sense enough to know that when staple goods, like groceries, are offered for less than real value, they are of inferior quality or old and shop -worn. "Baits" were invented to catch fish, not men. W Solicit Your Trade. E. E. Williams, th Grocer, 'Phone 3, MuhjiiIc Bldg.
