rabbit king, is still perched on his
throne, and bids fair to remain there.
NO internal strife around his place when
it comes to the rabbit kingship He has
the Missouri bunnies by the barrel, not
by the dozen, And believe me- they are
about as cheap eating for Sunday as one
can find. And along with rabbits he
has a stock of first-class meats and
groceries. And the prices are within
keeping of the average mans pocket
book. Quick turnovers and new goods
have built up steady trade for the Peer

Market, has an interesting display for
the Saturday buyers this morning. His
layout OF fruit and vegetables is one
of the best to be found. And L You viii
compare his prices on fish and oysters
you will find that things are shaved

it's dollars to doughnuts those prices are
