Modern Merchandising
sr
Havo you ever stopped to think about the question of getting your household supplies to the beat advantage? Are
you perfectly satisfied with tho way things are running with the prices you pay, tho quality of the goods, tho range
of selection and the general question of making both ends meet? Perhaps you buy your supplies from the cross-roads
store, just because your grandfather did. Perhaps you are tied up to the general 3tore because you can trade in your
butter and eggs at a low price and take it out in trade at a high price. Possibly you have never thought about it one
way or the other. It 4s time to think. You have got to llvo and support your family. Your incomo is limited
to so many dollars per year, and you have got to figure out the expense account so that things will come out right
at the end of the year. If you can make both ends meet nicely and lay aside a tidy cum for a rainy day, you
are only doing what every head of a family should endeavor to do, and if you don't do It you are simply inviting
misery for the next time the crop falb. If a dollar look3 as big to you as we think it doe3, wo want you to think
over this question of modern merchandising and seo Just what it means. It means different things t different people.
To some It means buying everything on credit, then mortwetne tho farm when settlement day comes around. Othora think cheap tooda tho
pathway to economy---tho cheap, worthless trash that Is advortlsed so brazenly at "the lowest price on earth." Many people send eff to the
city and cot a Jack knife at a 25 cents saving and then fall back Into the old rut In buying the balanco of their supplies. Our Idea of modern
merchandlsInE Is to jupply all your wants-everythlne you eat, wear or uso-for yourself, your family and the hired man, at an avcrace caving
of 15 to 40 per cent, which means that If your yearly purchases amount to $200, you can cave something like $50, or $100 If It costs you
$400 a year to live. Are you so well off that $ 1 00, or even $50 does not interest you? Then again, consider the advantages. Absolutely
reliable merchandise of the very best quality, and an unlimited range of selection New goods Prompt service. Prices that spell economy,
and the certain knowledge that absolute satisfaction is the keynoto to every transaction. To make tudlng with us possible, we Issue a cata
logue of 1 128 pages. In which almost everything Imaginable, Including Vehicles and Farm Implements, Is Illustrated, described and priced.
This cataloguo can be absolutely depended upon and enables you to select your entire bill of merchandise without hurry or confuslcn and
with the certainty that everything will be found exactly as described or you need not keep It. We ask you to get out of your present rut and
Clve our methods a trial. We satisfy others and will satisfy you There never was a better lime than right now to begin, for we have Jutt

If you will risk 1 5 cents, we will risk sending you a catalocuo that costs us

Layinrf In Supplies: Living from hand to mouth Is one way of living, but why not get your supplies on a wholesale basis and avoid tho
potty annoyances of retail buying, to say nothing of making four dollars go as far as five dollars used to- That's the grocery list you see hanging
