Competition may be the life of trade but easier to do
business when you have NO COMPETITIONS That is evi

for the comngsseason and tried to keep from finding out
anything about it until would be to get
to the game. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS TO
YoUa IT MEANS THAT THIS HEAVY INCREASE IN
THEIR EXPENSES WILL HAVE To BE ADDED on to
the price of the Mules that they sell YOU THIS SEASON
to be DEAD LOSS all in salaries and rents they
are paying to KEEP OUT COMPETITION
Now we have bought the Jeres Property between the
Ice Plant and the Percy Grocery Co., are build
ling barn. We will continue to do business along
the same lines as we have always done.
If We Cannot Sell You Tie Best Mules In The
Market At The Lowest Possible Price, We don,
