of People the World Over
The trading public has become almost hysterical over the advance in prices of food stuffs.
Some people are likely to loose sight of QUALITY in trying to economize in Dry Goods and
Shoes. When you sacrifice quality for price you are practicing false economy.
There is a great deal being said of mercnantrc marking their goods up at this time, and possibly
this is the proper method for them to protect themselves against a decline, which may come later,
but we want it understood that *
WE HAVE NOT MARKED U? OUR PRESENT PRICES
And there is very little difference in our prices NOW and what they were in 1914, due to large contracts placed early, So we are in position to sell you mer-
chandise from a great portion of our stock at "before the war prices."
We urge you to cover your wants fully, as the pre .ent prices ahked by manufacturers and wholesalers for the coining season are almost double, with no
chance of a decline for some time,
It would not be wise to buy enough Hour to la-t a jear, but we l>elicvc you would save a great deal by tilling your entire needs in Dry Goods and Shoes, as
a prominent wholesaler remarked that dress ginghams would sell at 25c a yard before another year, and shoes, well, we are selling lots of ihern a less than to-
day's factory price. In this day of irregular pricesjind unknown values it will pay you to trade with merchants of established reputation,
"We have given you a "square deal' in the past, wo will give you a "square deal" row.
