this competitor of ours, and

Art, in any town anywhere
the size of Canon City, that
has been more carefully
selected than ours.
And the people know it.

that we carry the BEST line
of goods in town. And our
prices-it is a significant
fact, although everything
has advanced materially,
that you don't pay SO much
right now for for our line
of goods as you did before
we started in business.
The best line of goods,
reasonable prices and an
absolute guarantee of salts
faction is the foundation on
which our little business is
