Can You Truth
fully Answer Yes?

During the past year have you been
absolutely satisfied with all your gro.
ceries-your teas and coffee, your but
ter, canned goods and flavorinp

Can you truthfully answer yes?
These things are all within the con-
troll of the merchant, and as long as
painstaking care is exercised in their
selection, you are pretty certain to get
first class quality and flavor.
We do not claim to be perfection
we are only human and sometimes
make mistakes-but there isn't a store
in town that strives more faithfully to
have its customers absolutely salts.

attention, and to have any goods re-
turned that are not everything they
should be in quality and freshness.
