We know that our competitors claim that our goods “are seconds,” “are trashy,” “are inferior make,” etc., etc., but if you will take the trouble to investigate you will find all these claims incorrect, and that we sell the same article from 20 per cent, to 50 per cent, lower than these same competitors charge you; Because we will sell you a 10c Lamp Chimney for 5c a 8c Lamp Chimney f0r..... 3c a 35c Suspender for .16c 1 "■ a 40c Tin Pail for 25c Our “say don’t make It a S 0 I? n Pa P .*2F •• • Jf® a 55c Enameled Preserve Ket..3sc ao. but our goods make our a 30c Set of Water Tumbleis..l3c “say ao’* so. a 30c Buggy Whip for 12c a 75c Suit Underwear for 55c a Pkg.
