Why you should trade with the
Growing store: Because it is
one Of, the oldest firms in the
county; the store has remained
continuously in the hands of it's
originators, and does not depend
upon hired helRin any official or
supervising capacity.
Every dollars worth of stock
in the concern is and always has
been owned and controlled by the
Growing family, there being no
outside stockholders or speculat-
ors to "kick" for big dividends,
or influence the keeping of
cheaper goods for more profits.
There are a, good many small
merchants and some large ones
who make special low price
on certain cheap articles, and
who are not prepared to do this
on the highest grade goods if
they wanted to.
The lowest prices on high
grade merchandise of guaranteed
value, together with reputation,
honesty of purpose, has made
this store what it is today.
.. Yours truly,
