if o’neiix, NEBRASKA EDWARD GATZ, |T§j Pj Mf bi mTcw m Manager A QUESTION OF BAIT— Some very amusing statements are heard over the radio now and I then as well as observed in the advertising of some of our so-called Independent Grocery Dealer friends. In these statehents and advertising it is claimed that Chain stores use “bait” to get cus tomers in their stores. It is not likely that chain store operators will deny they make special prices on certain items of merchandise from time to time. A KIND REQUEST— We kindly ask you as a reader of this little message to look over the advertising and on the windows of the stores of many so-called Independent Grocery men, as well as note their newspaper and other advertising. W e ask, do they not make special prices ? I am sure you will agree that they do make special prices just the same as do chain stores. If the said special prices are “bait” when made by a chain store, are they not nslo “bait” when used by an Independent store? ROBERT C. MOORE STORE PURPOSES- It is and always has been our pro- ! gram in merchandising to make special prices on merchandise at certain times. No advance is tak en on any item in the store to offset the concession made. We have found this to meet with the ap proval of our trade and also in line with the trend of modern merchandising. Thank you. Note a few very low' prices for this Friday and Saturday as well as a few regular prices.

THE O N ILL CREAMERY will be open for business Saturday, June 28th This will not be the grand opening that we have been plan ning, but in order to have some Butter and Buttermilk on hand to show the people what we are going to do, w?e believe that it will be advisable for us to buy a little Cream and have these products on hand to show you on the following Saturday when we open officially. • * \ You can call up your cream buyer when you read this no tice and find out just what he is paying for cream and if the price is the same as it is today, you will find that they are now paying » you 28 Cents per pound Butterfat. We are going to open with a price that will be satisfactory to most everyone ir 4 he neighbor hood. OUR PRICE FOR SATURDAY WILL BE 31 Cents per pou ’ Now all we ask of the people is their patronage. We under stand that several of our competitors will follow this price but why is it that they have not come out and offered you the Minne sota price to begin with instead of waiting until they are forced to it. We also feel as though the different companies will give their men instructions to give us the toughest kind of competition. This we expect, but if the people and producers will give us a fair share of the business and a little good will and patience, I w ill promise i them that they will have as good a market here for their cream as they can get anywhere in this or any other state. But in order to keep this price where it belongs, I will have to depend on the volume. In order to get volume and keep the Butterfat in O’Neill and in our Creamery, I am making you the best price that it is possible to make now. If the Cream Producers appreciate this price they can show their good will by giving us a chance to show them just what we can do. The O’Neill Creamery will officially take over the milk route, which has been operating under the name of the Sanitary or Hull’s Dairy on the first day of July. I would appreciate it very much if the folks in town would phone in their orders fbr Milk, Cream and Butter to take effect on July first, so that we will be able to have Milk, Cream and Butter enough on hand to supply your wants. You know that every bottle of milk or cream that is sold from this place is guaranteed. Orders have been coming, .. in fine since our announcement last week and we are expecting to double the Milk and Cream output at least double by the first of August. You know' of course that we recommend Pasteurized Milk, but you may have the raw Milk or Cream if you wish. Our Phone number is 84—we will appreciate a call from those who need our products. ’ J.
