Our prices have been kept on rock bottom, our credit system has been kept on rock bottom, and we are pleased to announce to our friends that our business is on a solid rock founda tion. This we attribute to the fact that we give every customer sixteen ounces of satisfaction to every pound, and throw in with every purchase a smile apiece for every member of his family.
