That it pays to advertise Saturday
bargains on this Market Page is proven
each week by the crowds that line up
in front of the counters and stands of
live wires that make use of printers
ink.
From this page this morning can be
bought any good thing that the market
affords. Read over these offerings and
make your choice early.
Holzer as usual, has an array of lib
eral offers. My young friend tries to
help out the housewives in their saving
each week. and it's up to them to read
over his offerings every week. Nothing
but quality stuff can be bought here,
both in fresh and smoked meats. On the
delicatessen side of the market can be
found any tempting prepared meat,
sausage or cheese made. What's the use
of worrying about a meal when you can
buy one here already prepared? Ask for
Sig Levy-hes the best delicatessen man
in town.
It's hard to say too much about the
Sanitary Market, owned and operated by
Harry Norriss. This market has repu-
tation with a pull. 1t carries nothing
but the best and cuts prices to the quick.
Who hasn't heard Harry's familiar voice
at the door each week? He not only tells
the good people about what he has, but
sells them when they get inside. If it's
meat, fish, fruit or vegetables YOU seek,
Just drop in here and fill up your baske

ony yesterday afternoon, thought it was
Saturday, judging from the people lined
up along the meat counter. And they tell
me young Ethridge has built up this
big trade in little over a month. He
has his competitors guessing on his
block, and it is not hard to figure out
the cause-his cut prices and quality
stuff. Try this market for Sundays
dinner.
J. J. Began has a way of holding
trade, once he gets it. No doubt Mr..
Boggan is an up-to-date business man
and knows the grocery game well. But
10 hold the trade he enjoys he must
handle nothing but frst-class goods and
sell close. He also delivers the goods
when ordered. Boggan's place is on up
per Second avenue, between Twenty first
and Twenty streets. Drop in and
look around this morning.
L, F. Thornton who claims to be the
oldest groceryman in the city, does not
show his age, Judging from his actions
III welcoming patrons to his place. Mr..
Thornton prides himself in having one
of the best delivery systems in the city,
his hobby being to get the stuff out
as promised and when the women need
it. He has an eye for business-pleas-
ing the ladies who do the buying.
Who don't know of tie old and well
esta blished firm of w. s. Brown Mercan-
tile company? This firm has outlived
many competitors and bids fair to out
live many more. This morning they
are advertising the seasons specials
and fertilizers. If this firm tells you
such and such thing is all right, take
it from me it's so. Order what you want
and you'll get it.
V. W. Wood & Co., the retailers. who
sell at wholesale figures. have an inter-
esting list of grocery specials this morn

pace with this upper Second avenue es-
Enlistment they certainly have one job
on their hands. This firm buys in large
lots direct from the FARMER. and the
mddleman's profit they save goes to the
consumer. Drop in and let V. w. Wood
& Co. talk to you about the goods they
buy in bulk. It'll do you'd pocketbook
good.
