I YOU PAY A HIGH PRICE
FOR almost everything you buy, including the common
necessities and the expensive luxuries, from foodstuffs
to automobiles. -

cheaper today than for many a year past and is retailed in
Eugene in many instances for less than wholesale prices!
This means that your dollar will buy more now than at
any other time and this is therefore the time to spend it.
