Our
Farmers
rade
IS
Growing

During the past six months
our trade among the farmers
was more than doubled. Why?|
For one reason we have been
making a play for the country
business, Offering the highest
cash price for produce, or we
have taken the produce in trade
allowing very liberal prices. We
need the farm produce. We have
a great demand for eggs, butter,
ETC., in our store, and consider
this just as good to us as money.
Another thing, the farmers
have learned that they can &C.
tually save money by buying
their groceries at this store.
They have learned that we are
not "hot-air'' merchants, and
have learned to take what we
say as the truth. We have
"made good" in every respect.
If anyone ever buys a thing at
this store, which does not prove
satisfactory, we are more than
glad to make it right. But
chances are ninety nine to one
that what you get here will just
suit you. We buy our groceries
fresh, turn them over often, sell
for cash or it's equivalent, have
no bad accounts, and therefore
can give you better prices.
Ii you are not already our
customer, we will be pleased to
have you drop around and give
us a trial anyway.
