ARE ADVERTISEMENTS READY

An unfortunate error occurred last
evening in the advertisement Of Eccle-
ston's Grocery, wherein was quoted
Sweet Pickles, 10 cents a gallon"
and Best Chowchow, 70 cents a pint"
when in fact the prices should have
been reversed, the pickles being worth
20 cents a gallon and the chowchow
10 cents a pint. Mr.. Eccleston says
he was kept busy at the telephone all
morning explaining to his patrons that
these goods could not be sold at the
prices advertised While the annoy
ance oocasioned Mr.. Eccleston is to be
regretted, the fact is fully established
that advertisements In the Express are
read, bargains are closely noted, and
the buying public are always on the
market to take advantage of the prices
made
Does advertising in the Express
pay? Wei, we guess, yes.
