Although ell these charities In which

ed q steady loss. q grest number OF those
he benefited, aud benefits, are under the
impression ihst be does not sustain loss,
and that they merely buy for less
than they would elsewhere. This is exact
ly the impression he desires them to pos
sess. 10 his own words:
do not wish to make single one feel

more. The mere fact that they walk far
to save few ceuts, proves that their bard
earned pennies are precious. and that
there is the necessity OF getting ell that
can be obtained for their money.
