Holzer presents a nice array of lead CTS this morning as usual And when my young friend puts bargain on the counter, you can depend on it being a saving to the consumer. And another thing must be considered when buying here-nothing but choice, first-class stuff is handled. The western meats on dis play yesterday for today's big drive were fine to look at, indeed. Over at the deli catessen department Sig Levy had reg ular sprngtime smile on his face His department will be busy from now on.
 
 hear in a und-about way that my young friend Ethridge, who runs the Ethridge Temple of Economy on Fourth avenue, has his nearby competitors on the run with his new meat market. Why not? If you haven't been around here and traded at this new market, where prices are skinned to the bone, then you had better drop in and get wise. MT. Ethrdge also carries nice supply of groceries and green vegetables
 
 The Peerless Market and Grocery Co. are out with some choice specials to- day. During the winter, McIntire poses as the rabbit king. But rabbits are done for until next fall. So this week he is specializing in butter, pork chops and pure pork sausage. Read over the close figures he quotes this morning. They look small to some you have been paying recently. His line of groceries are in keeping with his policy of cutting prices on everything.
 We have with us today J. J. Boggan, the groceryman, who has made a big suc- cess with his grocery venture in the two short years he has been in business. The reason for his success lies in the fact that he is a good business man; he carries everything that the market af- lords, and is not afraid to mark stuff in plain figures, both in the windows and on his goods. His rating for clean Illness is tip-top and his place is bright and inviting.
 V. w. Wood X Co.,, the retailers of upper Second avenue, who sell retail at wholesale prices, have an attractive list on this page this morning This firm Is strong on quoting figures, and if competition meets them they will have to go some. They are educating their cus- toners to buy in bulk and save cost In this they are succeeding, judging from the amount of groceries and country produce they send out They buy di- rect from the farmer and cut out the takeout.
 
 T. r. Thornton located at Eighteenth and Fourth, has a few words to say this morning about his up-to-date groc- cry store. Thornton has been on this prominent corner long time. There must be reason. A merchant has got to give value received and then some to hold good trade. Thornton has done this. If it is quality groceries at the right price the consumer seeks, then here's the store to trade at.
 
 James A. Norriss Is priding himself this morning on his fine layout for today's trade. Norriss cut his delivery service a year ago. and since then has done a land-offce business. He cuts prices to the last notch and this, of course, draws trade. Once q customer always one at this market. Some of the best fruits of the season will be found here today. And some nice new shipments of vegetables will be found on the stands. Why not try baked fish tomorrow?
 The Mercantile Supply Go. are special izing these days on good things to eat on meatless and wheatless days. Drop in and try their country eggs. water ground meal and country sorghum. Not the adulterated kind, but fresh from the farm They also like to sell in bulk, as they can figure goods down extra close this way.
 Catanzano Bros. have a few choice specialties to offer this morning. This IS where these boys shine-selling good things just a few days in advance of their competitors. I don't know where they get the stuff, but they have 1t all right. If in the market for the best in poultry, try these boys. They spe- cialize in this also Or perhaps you want fish for Sundays dinner.
 lnman x Co. claim they are working up nice business among the retail They specialize in pork and pork products. They certainly know how to reach the li.erchants--The Age Herald Market Pa0a rofail-
