Getting a price is important but watching the trend of the market is
equally so.
The 20th Century Buyers are scientifically trained for just this work and
as a result, this Concern has the Confidence of their Customers to a high degree.
No false advertising or misleading statements are ever permitted by our advertis­
ing men or store Salesmen.
It takes a long time to build up Confidence and o n ly a moment to destroy it.
At the beginning of the year 1926, the staple markets which go a long way
to control your food budget is about as follows:
Sugar in 1925 was lower than it was in 1924, the
peak
in 1924 being around the $10.00 mark
SUGAR MARKET
while in 1925 the highest price was around $8.00
January 1st, declining steadily through the y gar until today at the opening of 1926,
we find an approximate market of $5.75.
Although the market is now down close to the cost of production, we do not
look for any immediate advances as the market Is likely to go slightly lower before it
will be higher. However, we will keep our customers posted as we are always in a
position to reasonably protect you against an advance.

FLOUR MARKET
ican Farmer enabling him to hold his wheat is
responsible for today’s high prices. The fyll strength of the market is not reflect­
ed in today’s retail prices on flour as the 20th Century, and other Cash and Carry
Stores, are giving the Public the benefit of favorable early purchases. In fact, Flour
is today selling below the wholesale costs and unless wheat declines 20c or 25c a
bushel, which is not at all anticipated, flour is bound to be higher.

DRIED BEANS
RICE
I
There was a large crop of this commodity last fall, so
we predict this market to remain steady. Beans at
today’s prices are good food value.
Rice is extremely short due to heavy rains just at threshing time.
The crop is not only very disappointing but the quality is below the
average. Higher prices are in Sight.

The late James J. Hill once said : ‘The
basis of credit is character.’ He spoke the
truth.
The reputation a man has for meeting
his obligations promptly is one of the first
and strongest considerations in extending
a bank credit.
Let us learn a valuable lesson on the
