ingly of personal needs, not boastfully but
confidently and sincerely.
You, friend reader, find a certain indi­
viduality in our advertisements. They are
plain, simple, straight-forward, believable, A
price named is a worth stated.
Discounting and speculating is never neces­
sary when you read our advertisements. Read
