Think Of it, half million housewives of
America come each day to Piggly Wiggly
stores to purcha ase supplies for their tables
WHY?
These 100000 housewives KNOW that
they save from 10 to 20 percent on every
item purchased at Piggly Wiggly. They know
that by purchasing regularly at Piggly
Wiggy they save from So to $50 a month";
This saving is made possible without the sac
rifice Of either qualityor quantity.
These 100000 housewives KNOW that at
Piggly Wiggly they can select what they
want with their own hands without interfer-
ence or suggestion from anyone. They
KNOW they can hurry or take all the time
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1919-05-30

they wish and they KNOW that they do not
have to wait to be waited on.
These 100000 housewives KNOW that
Piggy Wiggy stores are clean and that the
goods they buy are clean. They can see with
their own eyes that mice, vermin and filth are
not found at Piggly Wiggly stores. They
KNOW that they can pick their own vege-
tables and fruits, and as these items are sold
at Piggly Wiggly by weight and not by meas
ure, that they get fullest possible value for
their money.
Piggly Wiggly stores are unlike anything
ever established. They are not only very
original but absolutely essential to the well
fare and happiness of women who give the
proper thought to their homes.

IMPROVES STUDIO
A. &. FLOE DECORATES ROOM
AND ADDS NEW EQUIP
MENT.

Seven years ago A. c. Floe came
to this city to find a location for a
photograph studio. He obtained the
use of the upper floor of the frame
structure that formerly stood on the
present site of the Dakota State
bank. The Jones Bros. drug store
occupied the lower floor at the time.
After an occupancy of only six
months the building was torn down,
forcing Mr.. Floe to seek different
quarters. He transferred his photo
graphic equipment to the building
that had served the city as a postof-
flee and one door TO the west of his
first location. Here his business has
remained for a term of years.
For the past three weeks the in
terror of the building has been UNI
dergOing some artistic r%emodeling
The side walls and ceiling have been
given a fine panelling effect and new
backgrounds have been added.
Mr.. Floe has further equipped his
studio to take care of the increas-
ing business. Yesterday he installed
a new No. Z New Century camera
that cost $125. This machine is OF
the Eastman manufacture and has
the very latest improvements for tax.

Mr.. Floe has enjoyed steady
patronage during his residence here,
He owns the building that is in pro-
cess of redecorating and is satisfied
to remain in Madison.

purity and freshness, the water is changed
