Usually business houses evade the
question Of comparison. Here at
Flynn's we rave 1t. We know we
have the line and we are equally con-
hdent that our pricings will make bet
ter than a fair comparison, with any
line that nigh. be classed in the same
range Of quality as ours.
Therefore, you can see we are not
wholly selfish when we ask you to
look here before you NY. Look here
first; If you save a little money! it's
just as good as the money you work
for. JOHN FLYNN g. co.
