About the man who put green goggles on hiss horse, and then fed him on shavings? We'll, the horse died! Some people buy poor foods, and expect to thrive upon them, but the wise man and the economical woman know that high grade foods mean health and strength and are the most economical at all times. We keep nothing but the best, and our prices cant be duplicated. !.
