Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 August 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 cento each, the wholesale price. We are also selling other pencils at retail for 5 cents that cost today 60 cents *or better per dozen.
