CERES

We make right that which is not right
popular motto used in our city now by popu-
lar store. had its origination here several years
ago. or to be exact when Chris Harwell. pres
ent owner and manager of the Chris Harwell
Grocery. was in the Mems Furnishing business.
MIR. Harwell we all know he's lived up to
that motto which he likes and for that in part
he now gives due credit for his growing Gro
Gerry business.
Keeping down overhead expenses is an
other attribute of business qualification which
Mr.. Harwell has attained during the thirty or
more years of his life that he has stood behind
the counter waiting upon the needs Of his Gus
toners The secret of the success Of most
men in business today thinks MIR. Harwell,
can be traced back to the date. small over
head expenses were expelled.
We doubt very much if there is man in
business in city who is as well known as he
is And the thriving business he now enjoys is
accountable to a large degree to the numerous
friends he has made in his acquaintance
