MISREPRESENTED.

We, the undersigned. owe II not
only to ourselves but to the public
also to correct statement which
was made to create false impress
sion. The item was to the Effect that
we had refused to furnish a local
house with sugar because they had
broken their agreement. Now they
knew 1t was q fact that we did NOT
own u sack of this sugar and that 1t
belonged to a Kansas City Wholesale
house. We do not even sell the sugar
merely store and deliver for them,
it is sold by their travellers who give
orders on US Tor thes sugar. This
local house did not buy sugar from
them nor anything elise, but they
sometimes borrowed sugar from US
which We loaned them Just for ac-
comodatiCn. When the Wholesale
house discovered that we were loan.
ing their sugar, they ordered us not
to let them have any more, as they
were buying no other goods from
them. and this was four weeks bSiore
the local house broke their agree.
ment The tish story we know moth.
ing about as we bought our fishfrom
the same man they mention without
any thought of who el'e be woul !
sell. We write the above because we
were the so called local sugar house
referred to and because it has been
falsely used as an advertising club.
As far as this firm ia concerned every
tub shall stand on It's own bottom
and we propose to meet all prices on
any line we sell, and do business 10
our own way down on our old cor
ner.
