SUCCESS
IN
BUSINESS
Is attained by tho uso of
good sound common sense.
Tho merchant who gives
fair, honest, values for tho
price never will be without
plentv of customers
While wo will always meet
tho prico of "bait" mer
chants to cash trade, we
never resort to fako sales
or any other deceptions 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 poods,
like groceries, are offered
for less than real value,
they are of inferior quality
or old and shop-worn.
"Baits" were invented to'
catch lish, not men.
