HOME PRODUCTS ONLY AT
"BENNIE" Walls BUFFET

Pm just going to see what there
is in this talk about patronizing home
products" said Bonnie" Vail, few
weeks ago when he opened up Wallis
buffet at IL East Superior street. Tn
going to see if Duluth people will
stand pat on their holler about buy
ing things made and 'jobbed In this
old freshwater city,"
And he kept his word.
When he put IL his stock of eat
ables, drinkables and smokeables he
purchased only those brands made
and handled by Duluth firms. And
in every case where possible he in
sisted on the union label.
That's pretty good for Bonnie isn't
it?
But that's not all. Here's some
thing better.
He has made good at his home
products scheme, and has found that
Duluth people will buy Duluth goods
when they can get them.
For he's doing business far beyond
his most sanguine expectations.
But maybe part of his success
comes from the fact that It's Bonnie
Vail that's selling the goods.
There's a whole lot in that Sc
here's more luck.
