JOHN EGER

Groceries and Queensware. There cannot be found a neater, more inviting or better arranged business house than that of our Jovial and popular Mayor, Mr. lohn Eger. He began his grocery business here in 1880, and each year since then has witnessed a steady increasing trade. Mr. Eger’s store on Washington street is neatly arranged and packed to its utmost capacity with a line of staple and fancy groceries, teas, coffees, flour, vegetables, chinaware, glassware, crockery, etc. In the rear of the store Mr. Eger has a large ware room where last week he stored single shipment of two carloads of sugar. Buying in large quantites enables him to sell cheaply. A delivery wagon is operated and the promptness with which goods are delivered is highly pleasing to customers. It is the studious care to give every person the full worth of their money that has gained for Mr. Eger such a strong grasp upon the local trade. Mr. Eger is popular and has the confidence of the public, wherein lies the secret of his success. In no city in this part of the state can be found a stock of such excellent proportions and varied assortment as at Eger’s. The highest market price is paid for country produce.
