Honesty

Is a very good policy to follow, no matter what business you are conduct- ing. Take, for instance, if man is So- ing to wreStle another man and he ruDS vaseline or something of it's nature all over his body so that the other felloW cannot get a hold on him. that lsn square and 99 times out of 100 he Is caught; then the laugh is on him. Again, you'll see large public contracts let to the highest bidder. but they are usually nipped in time and. of course, again the laugh is in order. Then again you'll see business men selling second or third class tea. coffee or but ter for fancy prices; they, too, some times get tripped up. But why should you buy poor tea at 90 cents per pound, bad tasting coffee at 2o or B cents per pound. tainted butter or oleo at 24 cents per pound, when you can get the warranted good kind at the same prices in our store? (Of course we bar oleo. All we ask of you is that you give us trial and see If our say so is not our do so. We will continue to give a well made chair with pound of our Baking Pow der for one week more at
