A CARD.
| am always more than willing to
live and let live, but | have borne>too
long without public refutation the ar.
rogant assertions, list, that |, with other
grocers, have made higher than legiti>
mate prices to compensate for bad
ing credit: I'd, that any other grocer
can or does sell cheaper than l do, ex.
cept. perhaps, for buncombe; 3rd. that
any one of Il stores has originated
low prices.
Let it be understood: LIST, that If I
make losses by giving credit, I. not my
| paying customers. am the loser; End,
that | buy in the open markets as
cheaply as any one of my n%eighbors can
buy, and therefore can sell as cheaply:
3rd, that the decreased values and cost
Of all kinds of products do not stand
to the credit of any one firm. but to
the universal s%hrinkage caused by the
hard times Of the past few years.
Let a thinking public recall the
names of the several grocers who have
embarked here in business during the
past twenty years; if they charged ex-
orbitant prices why did they close up?
How many millionaire grocers are do
ing business here now?
II a victorious Moses has attacked
the grocery trade. why should he not
strike a trenchant blow at sundry other
trades while he has his hand in? Why
not make thorough work of it and thus
prove his philanthropy? If there could
be such a thing as the driving out Of
business all the Laramie grocers but
one. that one to succeed them as a mo.
nopoly, what would be the natural re,
suit?
I have endured false charges and
innuendoes until it may be inferred I
dare not refute them. They are being
made for an evident purpose and l am
now going into training.
I meet all advertised prices.
