The Parcels, Post and Freight Rates are correct and the final prices, in Klamath Falls, show conslusively that WE CAN SELL YOU THE SAME GOODS CHEAPER!, If this, is possible, in selling standard lines, does it not stand to reason that we can, with very few exceptions, sell you whatever you wish at as low, or lower prices. .
