EAST LAS VEGAS, Jan IL, 1892.
notice a short piece in your issue
of Jan. 18th, that, although not in
your editorial columns, can not be
viewed but under that head-to the
effect that Las Vegas is the cheapest
city in the territory to buy groceries,
and to demonstrate this so-called
fact you mention the fact that gro
ceries are sent as far north as Ration,
and south as far as Wallace. Now,
as secretary of the "Railroad Mems
Protective association" l have SeU-
erat bids in my possession, that came
from as many grocerymen in this
same Las Vegas. Said bids, so to
speak land only SOY, are supposed to
have, in the estimation of the gro
cerymen it seems, considerably low
cred the former prices of groceries,
and yet, in the face of this, / can
prove that men in this cheapest
city," send to Ration for their grocer
les, and can also thoroughly prove to
any one wishing to be SO convinced
that groceries are far cheaper in AL
buquerque than Las Vegas.
Please inform the public that, as
both ends of both divisions running
east and west from Las Vegas hap
pen to be Ration and Albuquerque
respectively, the railroad men CEN
tering here have ample opportunity
to become acquainted with the
prices existing at both these points,
and it seems TO me that statement,
or article, as published in last nights
issue, on this subject, was in direct
opposition TO the true facts of the
case. Respectfully yours.
GEO. ELLIS.
