To Our Readers
| Before going to town look over our
columns and get the range of prices
just like you would if you were going
to send away for them, you would
read the description and post up on
price first. If you cannot find the
goods advertised and their prices it
will be reasonable to assume that they
are not handled in that town. A
merchant having honest goods and
reasonable prices, is not ashamed to
tell the public 30. Honest goods and
square dealing merchants advertise in
the Journal.
