CASH FOR MEAT OCT.
DEBORAH MEAT MARKET PRO.
PRIETORS HAVE GONE ON
CASH BASIS.
No Telephone Orders VIII be Accept
ed. Case of Call and Pay
Cash.

After October first it won't be so
easy for the DEBORAH housewife to go
to the telephone and order her daily
roasts, steaks or chops If she does
so, her table will be void of meat for
the noon day meal. After October
first the three DEBORAH meat markets
will do business on a strictly cash
basis. Deliveries will be kept up as
usual, but before the meat leaves
the shop it must be paid for. No
doubt this will work to the advan-
tage of both the housekeeper and
the butcher. Days when it is impos-
sible to get to the shop, the house
wife will perhaps mix up few pam
cakes and possibly a little Johnny
cake-it's goddard when friend
husband comes home, smacking his
lips for juicy steak, he will be given
the first aid-pan cakes and Johnny
cake.
Meat has gone higher than Ruth
Law did at the fair here last month,
and no doubt the butchers feel the
pinch when they have to pay the
packer; and perhaps they lose many
accounts on their books. But any
way it will be a case Of paying cash
for your beef, pork, mutton and veal,
ETC., in the future here. 1t will be
hard on some at first. perhaps, but
there is nothing like getting used to
little inconvenience in life.
j. Ogden Armour and other pack
ers say meat prices will be reduced
when the buying public permits the
retailers to dispense with the costly
delivery system aid consumers
promptly pay their bills. Mr.. AR
mour also says that high prices are
not due to high profits, so far as the
purveyor is concerned" Well the
high prices are here, and We for one,
are willing to take our little market
basket on our arm and see what we
can do about reducing the high cost
of everything. We would Ike TO see
the general public try this once just
to see if there is anything in this talk
When everybody takes a basket on
their arm and journey to the mar
kets, 1t will be, like the old day:
when we all journeyed to the post
office after our mail. 1t would be lots
of fun, We are thinking anyway.
