Good values never went
out Of fashion here-nor

The way to keep up a

From the firss day that
this store opened its doors

was evident that value
giving would be its prime
factor. No other store in
this county has grown so
rapidly-has helped SO
many people to lower the
cost of living as has this
store and chiefly because

great deal less, because
buying in quantities for
