We were told by a salesman of a . certain brand of coffee that is put up in a tin can with a very attractive label, that wc would
Tiave to sell that brand ol coftee at the price established by the house or we could not handle that particular brand. He said three
North Platte merchants were going to quit buying this brand ot coffee from him unless we got in the band wagon and sold it at their
price. Now if there are people in North Platte who want to pay us a larger profit that we are ready to take, we will supply them
with the brand of coffee referred to above. But we have a coffee, put up fresh every week in an air-tight package that will satisfy,
every taste for good coffee and save you the big profit of the combine and the extra charge for the tin can that you have to pay to
have hauled away..
