Our sale of4o cent new crop New
Orleans molasses at 70 cents a gal
Ion is a success While we don't
make much money on it, its a
novelty, as much so to us as to our
patrons, for in all our forty years Of
merchandising we have never had a
chance to give any such value in
the molasses line for the money.
Bring or send your Jug and get a
gallon-you'll come pr send for
more, they all do. We prefer not
to sell more than two gallons to any
one buyer at a time, and will in no
Ease sell by the barrel at this price.
