One year ago a sack of sugar cost $21 at any retail store in the west and tne iiati store nas arranced a showing of what $21 will now buv at the store and I lie following ar ticles are in the display that can now be secured for what was formerly the price of the sugar alone: 1 sack sugar. 1 4S-lb. sack of wheat flour. 1 2 4-lh sack of rye flour, 1 pound of Hatter-Nut coffee. 1 bushel of pota toes. 7 pounds of rice. 3 pounds of navy beans. 2 cans of corn. 2 cans of peas. 2 cans of tomatoes. 1 can of peaches. 1 can of apricots. 1 can of pineapple. 1 can of pears. 1 box of crackers, 1 box perfettos. 11 bars of laundry soap. bars of toilet soap. 1 bottle of catsup, packages of macaroni, 1 sack of pancake flour, 1 loaf of bread. 1 pound of butter, 1 package of Swansdown cake flour, 1 sack of corn meal, 1 package of oat meal. 1 sack of graham flour. 1. pack age post toast ies. 1 package shred ded wheat. : pounds prunes. 1 pack age Ideal yeast. 2 cakes of compres sed yeast.
