EE HIVE SiORb i N 1C V V NEW METHODS OPEN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3d Having purchased from the Dallas Mercantile Company the grocery stock known as the Howe Grocery Store, I have taken hold of a business that I know absolutely nothing about, but I have always contended that the grocerymen of Dallas were running in the wrong channels, so I will make the following wide departure from the rule, SWIM OR DROWN. ' CROCKERY has no business in a grocery store. I am going to get rid of it, and will sell you this fine line at ABSOLUTE COST. This is not a reduction of 10 per cent, but 30 to 50 per cent. PRODUCE EXCHANGE We cut this out entirely. It takes much time and a complete set of books, FULL OF MISTAKES. We believe the farmer should have cash for his produce, and then buy where he can get the most for his money. In view of the above departure from the old rule, we must sell strictly for cash. Here is where you make money. We will sell at all times any and all lines, " and we have a most complete stock of the choicest brands of Groceries at a reduction . in price of 5 per cent below any competitor. Come in and get our prices daily, for they are subject to change. The well is deep. All accounts paid on the first of each month are Cash with us. rsici E. C.
