;a greeting and a statement to our old cus: towers and tre new ones we hope to get . Wc wish to express our thanks for favors shown us ' during the past few years, and also we want to interest you in our plans and aims for the future. Owing to the great world war of today, which has brought about the scarcity of help, the high cost of mer . chandise and many other things which are dissatisfying, we are preparing to enter upon a f Strictly Cash and Carry Plan September 1st, 1918. It is our intention to give our customers the benefits of the saving, which means from 15 to 20 per cent on the every day necessities of life and to insure them better and prompter service. Depend upon us to keep up the -high standard of the goods we sell, to give you honest weights and full measure aud to cut the corners off prices. We shall depend on increased business and the power of cash to bring 1 results. SEPTEMBER 1st, STRICTLY CASH AND CARRY. Lierk-Sandall Co.
