AN OLD CUSTOM.


Following a custom, you no doubt
have been dealing with So-and-So; and
So-and-So's goods are no better than
our goods. The only difference is that
we give closer prices in order to COM
mand a large trade. and in that way
benefit you and us. Just stop and
think a minute-all Elgin Watches are
made at one factory, but are sold at
different stores. The same rule ap-
plies to other lines Of goods that we
handle. But what you SAVE by deal
ing with US win help you to buy some
thing else. OUR STORE is NOW
