Groceries.
If you cdn pay cash for
your goods, then we can in
terest you, Especially if you
are an economical buyer, and
are posted. Under the old
plan of carelessly buying on
credit, it . is so easy to buy
everything one sees and have
it charged, that the conse
quence is a big grocery bill
and it gets to be a habit. You
get accustomed to it, and you
don't realize what a nice sum
you can save by buying just
what you need and paying
cash for it. Try us and see
what quality has to do with
the price.
