A NEED IS SUPPLIED.
Demand of Long Standing is Met
In a Right Way.

Many people in and around the city
have been sending to Chicago and
other places for their groceries, in
order to get them cheaper and to
save paying the high prices which
merchants, that sell on credit, have to
charge in order to cover the expenses
of bookkeeping and collecting and all
losses by bad debts.
There is no need to do this any
more, as Longs Bargain House have
a grocery department to their store
at 217 High avenue west and have
inaugurated a system whereby they
are prepared to furnish the best quail
ity of groceries at less than any cata-
logue house can furnish them, thus
giving customers the advantage of
getting groceries in as small quanti-
ties as they need, and at any time
they need them, and of having them
delivered to their door, and also of
having an accessible place to return
them If not satisfactory.
If you will call at Longs Bargain
House at PIT High avenue west, they
will be pleased to explain their sys-
tenn to you whereby you can save a
large per cent on your grocery bill.
