IMPORTANT NOTICE
TO THE PUBLIC!

THE HOME LUMBER, COAL AND GRAIN CO..
of La lara, Colo, has recently purchased the
complete and extensive stock of Lumber and Coal
ever bought by any firm in Southern Colorado in
any other part of the state outside of the large cities
paying spot cash for the same, thus enabling them
to make discount of 20 to 40 per cent. below our
competitors prices There has been a slight drop
in prices building material i'm the wholesale
market within the last 80 days which has helped us
to lower prices and divide profits with our
patrons.
These unheard of low prices on lumber and
appearing and expect to raise prices building
MATERIAL July Ist, while will sell coal these
prices until August 81.
There has not been, will there be, any drop
in coal except for summer storage purposes All
consumers know that it is next to impossible for the
retail dealers coal for their customers through
the winter By making purchases of from 1000 to
900 of Canon City Lump and Nut, and La Veta
Oakdale Lump and Nut, at time and paying cash
for same, enables us to sell coal for storage
at these unheard of low prices.
A WORD TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT
Coal consumers get your coal while it is plenty
and very cheap. We also have extra bargains to
offer in Anthracite, Mine Rum Blacksmith and Slack
Coal. Steam pIow and threshng machine can
do themselves good by seeing O dropping us a
card before purchasing.
