Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 July 1920 — GREAT LEAD PENCIL BARGAIN [ARTICLE]

GREAT LEAD PENCIL BARGAIN

The Democrat has recently secured several gross of “Mikado No. 2” lead pencils. These pencils are now worth at wholesale 60 cents per dozen or $6.50 per gross of 144. We are still selling them —not over six to a customer —at 5 cents each, the wholesale price. We are also selling other pencils at retail for 5 cents that cost today 60 cents or better per dozen.
