Do YOU EVER NOTICE

Or don't you notice the difference in our prices,
and the prices usually charged even by the
stores that claim to sell very low. Why the
simple TACT 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 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 a
single article in our store that we are not SELL
Ing Tor 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 oft9ner
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.

other reason While we did not intend to
quote any prices in this article we will men-
ton few just to prove what we say and see
YOU don't wonder also if what we say is cor
rect why we donot sell all or nearly al Of the
goods sold. Ofcoursa 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
noG c0nfine our low prices to some Of tho l8ad.

And aside from Offering goods much lower

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

be brought together Our confectionery stock
includes the fine grades in abundance as well
