regular ad to
list specials
each week
Beginning this week. Founder's
Grocery and Mikeska's Market will
carry a regular ail in the Adverti-
ser each week, visiting their specials.
They arc using the ad, according
to F. C. (Mac) Foiirnier. to take
the place of the circulars, which
are printed out of town, and which
they have been distributing week-
ly.
They vtill grt at I) appreciate your
w atching their space each we-k for
really good values. However, be-
cause of limited space, it will be im-
possible to list all of their specials,
so they ask ton to remember that
they have many good huts through
out their store.
\ trip to Founder's Grocery and
Mikeska's Market will save you
real money on your weekend shop-
ping, and you will always find many
necessary items at bargain prices.
