That is

One writer says it is "a pond in whioh bueinega men•fieli for
patronage." "Cheap" is usually the bait moot merahants
use and no doubt it is good but we advance good goods . at
fair prices as batter and a sufficient inducement for those
who desire it is to deal in sensible and honest basis, An
intelligent comparison' of what we give you for the money
in airy breach of our store will demonstrate clearly that our
prices are right, "Often the cheapest, Always the best"..,
The selling of Wall Paver is one of its largest features, the
available progress of this department has been merited by
selling nothing but the best we could buy for the. money, pt
prices bound to make customers, It is a dangerous polloy
we think to be either high or low in Wall Paper prices, the
former is something of a robber and the latter is most sure
to be a cheat. Our policy is honest goods at honest priced
