MILLER & RHOADS,
PERHAPS::==::

You've often tried to answer the
question. "How can we sell 80
cheap 2" Well, we'll begin to
help you out by stating that there's
two sides even to this interroga-
ton. "a shrewd purchase makes
a good bargain" If we save a dol
lar on dozen of anything you
can readily see what you'll save
the next time you'll want single
one. That's all about it ;! When
you get a lower price than usual
on anything bear in mind that we
paid less this time than last for
the article. We strive to do bust
ness in such q way as to make you
acknowledge the fact that we are
the people for "big bargains at
little prices" We have had &C
cess to q big Auction Sale in New
York City, and as an evidence,
you can readily see from some of
the quotations in this advertise
ment. We warrant everything to
be in first class condition nothing
shoddy or shop worn and at one
third and less than regular prices.
Now it's to your advantage to
be here, so take the hint.
