The GROWING features of our royal
stock of groceries are: First, nigh
quality; second, completeness third,
the perfect condition Of the goods, and
fourth, the moderate prices at which
we sell. Cheap food may be popular
with those who do not know that it is
cheap because it lacks nourishing ele-
ments, and that twice the quaptity must
be purchased to get results equal to
those given by our groceries. Every
thing in my stock is fairly priced, and
quality second to none. Ask for a

only loo for one package and it makes
three large pies. 1t is equal to the
