BURY THE HATCHET
AND SHAKE HANDS

Secretary Roessler of the Jeffer-
son County Fair and Secretary Harte
of the WatertoWn Inter-County Fair
have already taken steps to bring
about a good friendly feeling between
the two fairs, the relation of which
have been strained for years. At the
holding of the Jefferson County Fair
Secretary Harte will bring the Water
town band and many WatertOwn
people with him to make a Watertown
day at Jefferson, and at the holding of
the Watertown fair Secretary Roess-
Ter will journey to Watertown with the
Jefferson band and many Jefferson
people. This will be to the advantage
of both fairs, and through this ex-
change of courtesies it is hoped that
the strained relations so long existing
will be obliterated. The people of
both cities will welcome the arrange
ment.-Jefferson Banner.

MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT

A regular meeting of the city cOun-
Gil was held Tuesday evening

Cash AND CARRY PLAN
TO Be INSTALLED
SCHACK'S GROCERY STORE TO IN
AUGURATE NEW METHOD TO
REDUCE H. c. OF /.
Mr.. Setback viii Conduct A Meat
Market In Connection
With Store.

Cash and carry home will be the
slogan soon to be adopted at w. J.
Schack's grocery store in North Water
street. Mr.. Setback has been studying
the advantages of the new system
which has been successfully tried out
in other Wisconsin cities and believes
the time is ripe for such a move in
Watertown
Mr. Setback will also add meat line
to his grocery store, the north half
Of the present building being now re-
modelled to meet the requirements Of
an up-to-date meat market. In all
likelihood Mr. Setback will have the
new market in readiness for business
about April l.
With the adoption of the cash and
carry system it is pointed out that
the purchaser will make a saving in
his purchases which will amount to a
considerable sum each month as the
merchant adopting the system can
afford to sell below the present prices
owing to the fact that the costly de-
livery service will be done away with
and this heavy expense will not be
added to the purchace price There
will also be less bookkeeping and 9TH
er expenses incident to a delivery sys-
tenn thus reducing the price of com
modities.
Three Cent Delivery.
The Setback store recognizes, how
ever, that in some cases it is necessary
to deliver goods and has provided for
such contingencies After the cash
and carry plan is in operation goods
will be delivered when necessary at
a cost Of three cents a delivery. 1t is
expected to begin the cash and carry
plan next week and have it in COM
plete operation on April l.
With high prices your dollar grows
smaller and smaller. Buying for cash
increases its purchasing power 10 per
cent The store is not giving goods
away and is not giving inferior goods
at the usual price but is selling first
class standard goods at a small profit
for cash. In this way a big saving is
made on all purchases. Can the pur-
chaser make money any easier than by
increasing the purchasing power of
his money by buying for cash on the
cash and carry basis.
Telephone orders will receive atten-
ton as formerly, the delivery man
collecting at the home
