Since commencinx to h5i
hams etc. by actue.1 weight To-.
we were the drst grocery house
in San Antonio to ever attempt this
our prices have often suffered by
comparison with those of houses
who use the brush and paint
system of weighing. A ham at a
fictitious, arbitrary, marked
weight can be sold at a much lower
price per pound than can be done
where actual weight is the basis OF
calculation. But we maintain
that actual weight, honest and
correct, is the only impartial basis
for calculation of the value Of this
class of goods. If you buy ham
marked Is and on weighing it you
have only Is pounds, did you get
all you bought? We say no! We
sell meats as heretofore-at actual
weights. st j. EIKEL & Co.
