A whole medicine chest in your pocket,

COMPETITION is good, but cut
throat method Of dealing rarely brings
a satisfactory result. Such state of
affairs exists in the green grocery mar
ket of Milford, and the result is not
larger sale, as the market is capable
of utilizing all that is produced, but a
loss to the growers. Cutting of prices
in our home market results only in
establishing a lower price for pro-
duct which could be just as readily
sold at a reasonable market fgure.

he made another mis-lick, and this
time he drew the axe in bias diree-
