We are and have been selling many articles of GROCERIES below actual cost as a matter of saving those who wisely took advantage, real dollars. We have an immense stock at present, due to the fact that we bought heavily in futures last fall. Strong advances are predicted for the future, many of which are taking place daily, and we urge those who would profit to lay in a supply at the present time. Bring in your orders, large or small, or if impossible to get in, simply mail us an order to figure out. Quality considered, we will beat any mail order competition in the country. That is taking considerable territory, but it might be of interest to know that we have never been undersold on any catalogue order to date.

Why We Chose It
When the outside forces of influence still left a little room for the small, local grocer to compete… they were happy to oblige. We should be asking ourselves where they have gone, and what can we do to inspire one give it a go again?
