AGAIN.

A woman said It,
She was from Washington City, d. G., and
people in Washington, who want the best,
can usually get it. This lady, who was stop
ping over in Raleigh with a friend after tax
ing breakfas with her, asked the question,
"Where do you get such delicious coffee?
have never tasted anything like It," The
prompt reply" buy from Stronach's,' is no
Fairy tale We could name the parties.
That, of course, would be unpard enable. We
can say that the lady from Washington car
ried home q good big package of 1t.
We would not give penny for the opinion
of man. He sits down 10 a table and eats
goat for lamb, sausage made from The over
flowing population of East Raleigh, for pure
corn fed hog product, and his opinion of
something good to eat is the reflex of some
bias ker fool than himself That is, unless
he has wife to guide him.
We once asked Jewish Butcher, who was
trying to sell us some Pork, how he recon-
ciled his conscience to selling it, he being an
orthodox Jew and Moses having In very
decided manner denounced the eating of
pork. He rrplied "You GeHtiles D not un
derstand this thing. At the time Moses for
babe the Jews to eat Hog meat he had large
flock of Goats with him."
We are not autOcrats; we simply advertise
the goods that we know are first class. We
would like to sell them TO people who appre-
ciate such stock.
We are especially particular in the matter
of Flour, Butter. Coffee and Tea, and our
large sales attest our knowledge of these
most important articles of food.
