TWENTY-FIFTH YEAlt.
NOllTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 14, 1909.
NO G7.
The Introduction a Success.
r
Three weeks ago we announced through the columns of The Tribune that in order to get our Flour introduced into every household of North Platte, we" would
make a special low price on same, so that every family would give it a trial and be convinced of its superior quality, and also of the fact that a superior quality can be manu
factured in North Platte,
This we have done during the past two weeks and judging from the new names and faces that we have met at our mill during this time we arc 'frank to state that,
the patronage given us by the citizens of North Platte has far exceeded our expectations and also convinced us that they are willing to give home enterprise a fair trial,
and we trust they will continue with us as long as we furnish a superior quality at a reasonable price and of this wc wish to assure them for all time during our stay in North
Platte. In-as-much as no firm or corporation can continue to do business at a serious loss, we have decided to advance our prices to a point where they will at least cover
cost of manufacture and still save the consumer over former prices an amount worth your earnest consideration.
Commencing Wednesday Morning, September 15th, our prices will be as follows: ,
Best XXXX per 48-lb Sack $1.45
Gold Crown per 48-lb Sack 1.35
Cream per 48-lb Sack ...... .. 1.15
Extra Fancy per 48-lb Sack 1.00
Corn Meal per 24-lb Sack 55c
Corn Chop 100-lb Sack $1.25
Shorts per 100-lb Sack ; .V.V.'v. . .... 1.10
Bran per 100-lb Sack 1.00
