Bill Phillips Grocery Store No
2 is located in Scappoose.
This market is a place where
quaiilty, service and satisfaction
meet and where people from the
surrounding territory go to find
the perfect provision center.
It is excellently located and is a
place where one can park, have the
car loaded, drive away and not
be inconvenienced by traffic Jams.
This up-to-date market, seeing
the drift of the trade from the
congested area, has established a
store that is gaining in patronage
every day and now is so busy that
all goods are turned quickly, which
makes both for low prices and new
and fresh stock. The vast volume
of business enables them to better
deal with wholesale firms and se­
cures to the benefit of the public.

Those who trade here have found
that they are able to save much of
the meat bills and if properly put
away it will, by being saved, net
them a handsome sum over a pe-

The quality of the meats are the
very best.
The service of this popular mar­
