A BARGAIN?
Dr.. Barnard Asserts No Bargains in
Food-Indiana Food Official Warns
Public Against Priee.Cutter - No
Money Is Saved in Buying Inferior
Goods-Defends Retail Grocer.

There are no bargains" in foods,
DR.. II. +. Barnard, food and drug COM
missioner of Indiana, says so, and as
he mas been in the thick OF the pure
years, what he says must be consid-
ered as having the weight of authority.
The Indiana food expert declares thai
cut prices on food should create sus
piciCn in the mind of the prospect iv 9
purchaser that all is not right.
Dr. Barnard earnestly urges con-
sumers to beware of the food bargains
and the cut price on groceries He
asserts that no money was ever saved
by buying inferior goods. He admits
that sharp competition might result in
a saving on some special article of
known worth, but that as general!
rule Srocera who sell the best quality
goods do nor indulge in price-cutting.
Don't make the mistake, in these
days OF high cost of living, of buying
food on which the price has been cut"
says the food commissioner. Cut
prices in food should create suspicion.
Merchants may get rid of their entire
SlOSh VI LUIS OF Olltr SUCH SUOOS DIT
nalf price, and make money by doing
so, but there is no money in cut-price
groceries, either to the man who sells
or the man who buys.
whenever fish Is sold at cut prices
you may be sure it is worth no more
than is asked for it. When canned
goods are offered at pricer below the
cost of production, they are not bar
gains.
Hunt bargains if You wish, but con-
fine your hunting to department stores,
but when you go to the grocery or
meat market don't think you will find
bargains for you will not, and If they
are offered you, be very chary about
accepting them. II never pays to save
money by buying inferior food"
DR.. Barnard is earnestly supported
in his opinions by local grocer,
George {. McCord.
AT the McCord grocery one finds high
quality merchandise and if you phone
2S4 or 1854, delivery will be made Nc
Cords grocery. III West Main.
