VEST CoRNwALL 1t is n mystery to
some how L. w. Bingham can sell goods
at such low Rates when he has the addi:
tional distance TO transport his goods but
the TACT still! remains. II is fact that he
has put his goods at prices that cannot
he beaten. Coffee crust sugar is sold at
l. cents pound, and brown coffee ut
III cents, while graduated sugar is only
1872 cents. Other goods in like ratio
We can account for it only on the knowl-
edge we have, that he buys closely.
that he takes advantage of competing
lines of transportation, and, that he is
content with small profits lie now has
large stock on band and is doing a large
business, at least one third larger than
last year.
