TOO MUCH FOR FARMER.

A new stable boy was being shown
round the stables. With a great
show Of interest he quietly asked
which part Of the horses body had
most strength.
The farmer looked the boy up and
down, and then replied
Surely, boy, you know that
horses main strength is in its
bones r
Instantly the new boy replied:
"Then our horses must be all
strength"
He was fred on the spot.

Residents along the coast of sgd

Burgers Prices Are Down to Level Where the People May Buy With Confidence

To give some tangible idea of how low the prices are in specific stocks we present detailed list of new prices compared with those of May 1, 1920-on regular stocks and special stocks as they are now in this store at this time.
 In doing this we realize that we again throw ourselves open to unfair criticism and juggling of figures by those who seek to twist thing stheir own way just as dur ing our reduction sale certain merchants greatly reduced certain limited lots of mer- chandise in an effort to make their prices seem lower than ours. But we have faith that the public ever distinguishes between the true and the false, between real and sham service.
 With our regular stocks on the new low basis of prices, we shall offer during May at special prices-still lower-whatever careful scrutiny of the market and unlim- tied buying power will produce.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-05-08

Be assured that our buy CTS are close watchers on the markets of the world, daily and hourly, and that the people who buy our goods from us may be sat- isfied that we will not let them pay us a dollar for which we will not give them a dollars value.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-05-08

Wholesale prices are down more than 30 per cent.
 Although retail prices were never as. high, in proportion, as wholesale prices, they, too, are down somewhere around 30 per cent on the average on most of the things we sell, in many cases more than half.
 Most people agree that we will not be back entirely for some time to pre- war prices, and it seems fair to assume that prices today are nearing a stable level. In fact, in some lines prices are stiffening and advances are being made because of scarcity.
 Never for moment do we let up in our determination to hold prices down to the minimum. Every day we refuse to buy certain merchandise where prices seem to be still too high, and with every

new purchase of goods at lower rates, of course, our retail prices go down to the new basis the whole store being on the new replacement basis every day.

NOTICE

In compiling and typing such mass of figures, errors may creep in, al- though we have exercised great care. We, therefore, reserve the right to correct such errors when customers come to the store, the list being pre- sented mainly as a general analysis.
