My competitors are advertising that the meat trust is “busted,” and are selling meat at their own prices now. According to that the meat trust must have been a failure. I never belonged to any meat trust, and therefore their actions don't effect me any. I am still doing business at the old stand, and am selling meat at the lowest prices, at what first-class meat can be sold at lam not advertising any two for five meats, my motto always was “Give value received", which I will continue to do and I invite the public to come and be convinced. Ido not believe in trusts nor do 1 believe in freezing the i little fellow out. Live and let live. There is room for all. DYONIS SCHMIDT, City Meat Market. 284d3 Notice.
