JIM'S
CASH GROCERY.

But for two, things We would give
you long talk this week on high
grade groceries and low prices.
In the first place, this being har-
vest time and nearly all our custom
ers expecting threshers, they have
been in, laying in supply of pro.
visions, hence we have been too busy
to fix up a long talk,
In the second place, Jim isaway on
a vacation, and expects us torun the
business profitably. So you see We
don't want him to know how cheap
we are selling stuff. For this reason
We refrain from publishing prices.
But will say this as a STRAIGHT
TIP, if you will come in we will make
you some prices that you are not
used to, and show you some quail
ties that you can't see anywhere else.
For instance, if you want to thresh-
wheat, oats, flax, or a little extra
change out OF a bill OF groceries
come in and let us show you our
White Loaf, May Flower, or Ruby
Flour, Westphalia hams, Jim's Spe-
cial Syrup, sugar, bulk or package
coffee, beans, oat meal, baking pow
der, canned goods, fruits, vegetables
or anything in the grocery line.
Remember we make the prices in
the house If you want some real
snaps, HERE is the PLACE, and
NOW is the TINE. We want to
make record while Jim is gone.
He can pay the bills when he comes
home. Yours, for Record,
