BARELY THREE MONTHS AGO THIS MARKET WAS OPENED WITH ALL THE DIS
ADVANTAGES OF A BACKWARD SPRING Yet in spite of these disadvantages this market
has increased in popularity until today there are more people buying foods at this market than
in any single store in the northwest selling on a! cash basis. Many people, when told this fact will
say "yes," but you are selling too cheap to make any money. Well, we will admit that our prices
are low but our selling expense is little more than half what it would be in the congested down
town district. Who is to be congratulated on this tremendous growth? Isn't it true that the suc
cess of any business depends upon its following? We believe that is true and we congratulate
you, the thousands of people, of this community, for the success you have made possible in this
market and assure you that we will do everything possible to make this market a profitable and
convenient place for you to trade six days in every week.
