The Best Yet.
As a Trading Place Baxter Can
Not be Beaten.

That Baxter Springs is the
best place in this entire country
to trade can not be successfully
denied. Stores in Galena, Colum-
bus, Joplin and other places do
not in any way compare with the
stores of Baxter Springs when It
comes to making prices that are
attractive to the buying public.
The grocers of Baxter Springs
seem to be trying to outdo the
grocers of the neighboring towns,
and as a result the grocery busi-
ness here is mighty good.
The dry goods men, too, have
big stocks. and are making prices
that makes it pay to trade at
home.
The hardware and implement
men are the best in the country,
and they are doing a volume of
business that would be considered
big if it was in a town three
times as large as Baxter Springs.
The people all over this couu-
try ere fast finding out that Bax-
ter Springs is the place to buy
the necessaries of life at the low.
est prices, and they are showing
their appreciation by causing the
daily sales to be a little bigger
each succeeding day.
