;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.

younf. officers. Ho hnd a very serious
attack of Illncss about a year ago tu,t

health and tho news of his death
caii.o as a shock. Mr. Patterson had
visited hc Colonel last aprlng arid
found him pleasantly situated and
thoroughly enjoying his work as com

Colonol Patterson was born In
North Platte forty-six years ago,
graduated from tho high school nnd
took tho examination for cadot at Hio
Wont Point military ncademy. Ho

Graduating trun West Point ho had
been advanced through promotions

and therefore well posted on military
affuirs, extremely courteous and n
