Notice to the Public. 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 tailure. 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 little fellow out. Live and let live. There is room for all.
