quite out of the ordinary comes to
their attention, they add it to the
stock of the store. AS a result, the

picking up something not ordinary and
not usual. Prices, however, are kept

the quality that is in every article that

c. E. LINDRERe & COMPANY.

When one store does an unusually
large volume of the grocery, dry goods,
shoes and crockery business and
handles alone large share of the
desirable trade of the community, it is
sufficient evidence that the policy of
conducting the store, and the quality
of the goods sold, has found favor with
large proportion of the population.
Such is the case with G. e. Lindberg
& Co., whose completely stocked store
is at 113 S. Main Street. Only quality
goods such as groceries, dry goods,
shoes and crockery are handled;
prices, due to large volume of bust
ness, are low, and clerks and sales
