elusive sale of their food products in
this, city and adjoining towns.
The Kroger Grocery and Baking
Company has probably not been heard
Of by most of the people of Fafrmont,
but there are a good many families

brand OF goods the consumer will get
more for his loRey as it comes direct
from the factory to consumer, yet in
buying other brands of goods the
same article can be purchased at a
Kruger store for less money owing to
the fact that Kroger buys in such
enormous quantities.
Mr.. Miller will not run special
price in the papers for this Saturday
but all goods will be sold at a re-
duced price and every Monday and
Tuesday OF each week his price list
will appear fer the entire week.
Mr.. Miller has adopted the Kro

delivery OF goods. These are coupon
books which can be purchased at the
office in the amounts of three, five and
ten dollars, and when the goods are
delivered the coupons are given in
return and the bill receipted. Mr.
Miller has been using these books
for some time and finds them very
both to customer and
himself.
Mr.. Miller claims that 1t is a fact
that goods can be and should be sold
cheaper for cash than for credit and

time prices will be reduced OH all
articles and for boarding houses and
restaurants special prices will be
