let it hurt. We can't let the country
go to th dogs Just because It Is go

This is a general store and we are mippnHod to sell cvery
thifipr, and we live up to the general supposition.
You can buy anything you want here, from hardware to
groceries, from needles to a good smoke.
IL pays to buy from us. because we sell for cash, and an
enormous amount of goods, and we can therefore sell at a
closer margin of profit.
You CAN'T lose, and you WILL train. Now doesn't this
line of argument appeal straight to your good common sense?
