How Much of Your Income is Spent for Food ?
Think it over, and you will agree with us that you ought to have best value for your money every time you buy
eatables. This very rarely goes with CHEAPEST PRICES, but it does mean a fair price for good quality and no substi
tution of “something just as good” for what you want. Our customer’s interests are our own. Try us for your grocer
ies, and if we don’t keep your business always, that will be our fault.
