every lady present will be permitted
to Judge for herself Any other gro
cery store that wishes TO set Its goods
up in competition with the Chicago
goods Is welcome TO join the con-
test.
This exhibition means much to the
people OF ogden IL Mr., Carver can
sell the goods as above described at
the prices given. it should put q stop
10 the sending east for groceries. We
know that the good people OF Ogden
do not desire to send east for their
goods. II they can buy at reasonable
prices at home.
The gentleman who purchased the
above described goods In Chicago.
said.
II don't want Mr.. Carver or any
other grocer in ogden to sell his
goods for less than | can lay them
down here; in fact. | am willing. and
| know many other people who ship
from the east who also are willing.
to pay ten per cent more 10 get the
goods here in Ogden rather than to
go to the trouble OF ordering from
the east"
Our friend says he will gladly pay
$4,000 for the bill of goods above de-
scribed, which is a few cents more
TO
cago prices laid down in Ogden but
he wants fully as good a supply of
goods as he gets from the east. He
is convinced that his goods are bet
ter than the goods supplied by the
Ogden grocer
The Standard has been rather Sc

and we believe justly SO. but IL may
be that the grocery stores of Ogden
also have grievances and are at least
entitled TO a square deal, and II we
can help the grocery stores of Ogden
TO get more trade. and have that
trade cash trade, and at the same
time give our people OF Ogden bet
ter prices for better goods, we shall
have accomplished good for both the
stores and the consumers
Let everybody that is interested In
this matter come next Monday at 2.30
TO the Court House and We Will have
a little grocery exhibition that should
surprise either the grocery stores OF
the consumers.
Mr. Carver says. Not only will my
store supply the goods at the prices
above quoted. when purchased in
quantities from $4,000 to $4,000. but
am satisfied every retail grocery
store in ogden will do the same"
This Is important to every consum-
er The dealers cannot blame the
people who earn from S230 to $500
per day for buying where they can
buy the cheapest. In fact, Mr.. Car
yer said that he could not blame a
working man for saving 81 90 to $1,000
per month on his bill. if he can do
so, and he has nothing but good
wishes for the gentleman who was so
kind as to present this whole matter
to the Standard for investigation.
Now. If there are other people in
Ogden who think they are buying a
superior class OF goods for less mon
ey in the East. We would like them
to take this matter up with the
Standard Immediately. Let us have
full and fair investigation.
Perhaps the Ogden stores are not
carrying the proper grade OF goods IL
so, let us see that they do. We prom
Use to withhold the name of any per
son who will submit 10 us an Invoice
of goods purchased at prices luwer
than they have been selling for in
Ogden. Our only object In all this
matter is to get the consumer and tho
retailer together on basis that will
be profitable to both.
