A great many people think that it is impossible to buy their
goods of the home merchant and still keep within a reasonable
expense. For this reason the Mail Order Houses nre patronized to
a great extent where the merchant at home should get the
benefit of this portion of the business that is done in Omaha and
Chicago. By selling for cash our price is so that we can compete
with these places and when it comes to making prices on a bill of
t groceries that the ordinary family would send away for, we can sell
as cheap as the Mailorder House and we have the quality behind
our prices.
This not only gives the consumer the sume value for the
money, but saves the trouble of sending away and waiting a week
or two for tlie goods,
We ask you to consider this bill, compare the prices with the
Mail Order House and also come in and take a look for yourself.
