In Portland or any where else, but it isn't doing your home merchant justice; not giving him a chance to figure on an order and know if ypii are doing better or not. When you pick up a catalogue and look at the prices they may look good, but, when you pay the freight and get an inferior quality of goods at what it would cost at home are you gaining anything by it. I am running a cash business and am cutting prices as cloie as possible. I would be glad to have you call and get my prices on Coffee, Oat Mush, Baking Powder, Salmon Tomatoes' Potatoes, Woodcock Flour, Diamoud W Flour, Catsup, Peanut Butter, Canned Milks, Tobacco Beans Rice, Lard, and Syrup.
