DO YOU EVER NOTICE

oIoIoS tnaL ClGlIH 10 sell very LOW. why tAc
simple fact is we are away below any store in
this valley Yes, we repeat we are away be-
low any concern in this valley or in the state
in prices on first class goods so far as we can
learn. We do not handle a large line Of fancy
goods but we do have big stock and full as
sortment Of strictly FIRST GLASS staple
goods. Nor do we use any one or two articles
as bait to draw trade Our plan is to cut the
price on everything just as much as we posi-
bly can so that you will very seldom find
single article in our store that we are not sail
Ing for less than it can be bought anywhere
else and furthermore while we are always do
Ing our best to get at and keep the prices down
we never for moment loose sight Of quality.
No article can come into our store unless it is
at Least standard quality but is much oftener
EXTRA than otherwise.
We have large trade and we often think
when we put the selling price on an article and
know what the same goods are invariably sold
at that it is strange why we do not sell all the
goods in our line that is sold in the city and
have to conclude that it certainly is not on &C
count OF quality or price, but must be for some
other reason While we did not intend to
quote any prices in this article we will men
tlon few just to prove what we say and see
If you don't wonder also if what VIC say is cor
rect why we do not sell all or nearly all Of the
goods sold. Ofcourse each dealer has friends
who trade with him for friendships sake know
ing all the time that they are loosing money
by SO doing Now while we appreciate friend
ship yet we want every person who buys goods
of us to be fully satisfied that they get good
value for their money or we would actually
prefer to miss the trade. But here are soma
prices as proof of our statements, we avoid
the large articles simply to show that we do
not confne our low prices to somo Of the lead.
ing articles:

lOcj we give 8 boxes for 10c.

Cigars that could not be bought elsewhere for

And aside from Offering goods much lower
than any other establishment in the state we
believe we have one Of the most complete
stocks Of groceries in the state. Whenever
anything new in our line comes on the market
and has merit we add it to our stock. We
wholesale great many goods and at figures
lower than exclusive wholesale houses Our
cigar and tobacco stock is complete. Our tea
and coffee contains as fine a line of both as can
be brought together. Our confectionery stock
includes the fine grades in abundance as well
as the more staple varieties of confection. We
serve as fine Soda Water at &c. glass as can
be had in the city at any price. In our butcher
shop we handle as much and as fine grade Of
DoeA %Au ocler meats as any Ill ccr@nIon anu
from 2 to cents pound lower than any shop
in tho city On Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays we have full assortment Of green
vegetables 25 per cent below market rates.
Finally we think we are sete in saying that
we give more and better goods for the money
that any concern in Pennsylvania. Here are
some Of the reasons we have for wondering
why we do not sell all or nearly all of the
groceries sold in Scranton Come and see if
you can fine us misrepresenting facts in any
of the above assertions We would like TO
