The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-06-12
DO YOU EVER NOTICE.


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 large line OF fancy
goods, but we do have a 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-
ply can so that you will very seldom find a
single article in 0ur.store that we are not sell
ing for less than it can be bought anywhere
else and furthermore while we are always do
ing our best 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 wo put the selling price on an article and
know what the same goods are invariably sold
at that it's 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 ac-
count OF quality or price, but must bo 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 SEQ
you don't wonder also if what we say is cor
rect why we do not sell all or nearly al Of the
goods sold. 0fcOurse each dealer has friends
who trade with him for friendships sake know
ing all the time that they are loosng money
by SO doing Now while we appreciate friend
ship yet we want every person who buys goods
Of to be fully satisfied that they get good
value Tor 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 confine our low prices to some Of the lead.
ing articles:

l2Hc, we are selling for &c.

tor 70, we offer you al &C.
Cigars that could not be bought elsewhere for
less than Sl25 box, we sell at 60C.
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 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 line 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
beef and other meats as any in Scranton and
from to cents pound lower than any shop
in tho city. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturd ays' we have full assortment Of green
vegetables 25 per cent below market rates.
Finally we think we are sefe 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
