Long Story Made Short

We are just going to get down to
business at the jump by telling you
that if you want to feel once in your
life like a dollar is as big as two, just
go to R. @. divers and see what a
big pile you can buy with q dollar.
There was a certain party who went
there yesterday. with $1.35 and when
he got through spending it and looked
at the pile of goods on the counter
before him that it bought he felt
so sure that there was mistake some
where-that some one had gotten
some of their purchases mixed up in
his pile and that some of it didn't be-
long to him, that he got the clerk
who waited on him to 60 through the
lot, open up each bundle and see
whether all of it was his before he
would be satisfied to leave with it.
This is the way dollars are valued at
divers and you had better go and
get some of the bargains while they
last.
