SATISFIED CUSTOMERS
Are our best advertisement. Cash customers are satisfied cus
tomers, and you can always tell them by that self-same look.
‘‘Our low cash prices have caught the town” and our army of
‘cash buyers’ is increased every day by people who have been
convinced of our low prices and honest business methods—people
who want to save 10 per cent of their grocery and feed bills.
We guarantee to give the “most in quality and quantity” at
lowest prices in the county. Our goods are just a little better
and 10 per cent cheaper than elsewhere.
