RIcGLE BROS. GROCERY STORE
(By N. o. Shanks)

Back in 1914 the Riggle Brothers
j. H. Riggle and G. R. Riggle-
thought an opportunity was opened
to establish good clean, fresh stock
of groceries. They started in the
building two blocks south of the post
office; today Liberal has the Riggle
Brothers Grocery in the present
building to which they moved some
four years since.
The growth of this business in
the few years of its existence, popu-
larity of the store is pretty positive
that these men have given what they
started out to do-the grocery store
notwithstanding a good clean
stock, vegetables and fruits in sea-
son, moving the stock fast SO as to
have no stale goods, and combining
this with all those little courtesies
and Accommodations that are such an
asset especially to the grocer dis
penser.
The grocerymen is usually the first
person the housewife talks to out
side of her immediate family in the
morning each day. How nice it is
to call your favorite grocer and have
some CHEEKY words, follow that up
with an order in the confidence that
the goods are going to be just right,
and come out on delivery when ex-
pected. These are features of this
store, features that are building this
business
The Riggle Brothers Grocery
store is the "Piczwick canned goods
and Coffee" store; few people there
are who do not recognize this brand
of shelf goods and coffees as among
the leaders in the nationally adver-
tised brand of groceries The Pick
wick brand means quality in that
line.
Such is the volume of their bust
ness that this store is able to turn its
stock four times every year, thus in
surfing the trade that they are getting
the fresh and new stock; no carried
over" goods; no spoiled or shelf worn
stuff.
All the staple and fancy lines are
carried, besides this finn features
fresh vegetables and fruits in season.
Another features Of the stock is the
Lights Best Flour-a home product
made from home wheat; another is
the Kansas Expansion flour manufac-
tured at Wichita, Kansas The Lights
Best is becoming so popular that this
mill is having to enlarge to $50 bar
rels a day to take care of their in
creasing demand for this flour. Not
only does this Liberal product have
a good market at home, but over the
whole country When the season
opens they are going to put on a spec
ial sales force. That of course is just
by way of telling how some people
like this Liberal product
Located out of the heart of the
busy thoroughfares the Riggle Broth
ers store is a populor place for the
rural people to drive to and load up
with provisions. But of course that
is not the only reason; added to the
advantage of driving to a place where
traffic is not dangerous, they get
quality goods and the best kind of
treatment in every respect that the
most exacting to desire.
This store is a valuable. asset to
the community; to Liberal and the
surrounding country; the men behind
it are of still greater value to this
section; they are men who are always
lined up with the forces for progress
and development, who believe in the
country and its people.

ELKS FROLIC
 PROVES HIT
 AT OPENING

Everybody frolicked and enthu- siasm was at it's height last night with both actors and audience when the Elks opened their frolic at the Park theatre. The success of the show is, perhaps, due to the fact that each and every one put vim into their respected parts.
 The play opens with a scene at the Elks club with Harry Miller direct, ing the participants of the show. Song numbers were pleasantly rem dered by J. Barraja-Frauenfelde who is the possesSor of a deep ba $ voice, Lester Burdick, the com ian, and Arthur Levessauer whose rendi- ton of Macushla was particularly de lightful. Tom Mack made a decided hit with his clog dancing,
 Following this was a Roman tra- vesty which created much amusement with Frank Smith, Leslie Hickey and Hal Menard taking part.
 Bill Steinke was,- as usual, his own natural self and proved a.. screa m with his interpretations of various well known celebrities.
 The last act was an old time min strel with elaborate scenery, clever jokes, and the latest song hits. Int Song He Played on his Old Bass Vio1 by Edward Hart, being very well re ceived.
 W1n. J. Lynch acted as interlocutor and the end men were Lester Bur dick, Claude Moshier, Bill Steinka Paul Gaboury, Joseph Barry, George Mccormack, Hal Menard and Charles Jewett.
 Credit is due one and all for the hearty cooperation and diligen work shown, thus enabling the direc tor to put forth a first class amateur production.

 But as the country consumes about 100000 tons annually, Mexico will continue to import sugar.
 Previous to the revolutions Mexico produced almost enough sugar for home use. It is said that the country would have been in a position by this time to export sugar had it not been for the paralyzing effects of the ten years of turmoil. Because of the revolutions Mexico's output of sugar has dropped more than 50,00O tons.
