Blow! Blow!
It is natural for some people in business to
BLOW. It is not our object to BLOW,
give glowing descriptions, or make risky
assertions in prices.
This is no circus bill and we have no red
lemonade for sale. Plain facts go farther
than fiction which will not bear investigation
Our goods speak for themselves. No
flowery figures of price are necessary.
