WE ADVERTISE THE TRUTH
ami deliver the goods as advertised. Thou i! you are not
pleased with them after examining them at homo we always
give the money back cheerfully. W’e have confidence in what
we sell. We do not sell many cheap goods, but we do sell
thousands of HOOP HOODS cheap. We undor-buy a quan
tity of merchandise, thou we are satisfied with less profits than
some merchants this tells the story why we can and why we
do sell more goods for the money than you get elsewhere. Dig
sales and little profits is our idea. We have plenty of bar
gains. and everything goes as advertised.
For our special one hour sales next week we have decided
