To Our Customers and the
General Public
In compliance with the general orders issued by the United
States food administration, that all retailers sell “licensed
goods” at a fair margin of profit, the prices named in last
evening’s paper, were but a few of the actually listed licensed
I goods, which prices are set by the food administration and at
which all retailers will have to sell them.
We have not advertised prices, altho we have complied with £
the board’s request and reduced the price and will continue to £
lower prices whenever possible to conform with the food ad- £
ministration’s edict. £
When prices on all * ‘ Licensed goods ’ ’ are set, we will advertise
the list complete. t £
Honest merchants do not cajole their customers by giving
the impression that one dollars worth of goods is sold for six
ty nine cents, for the days of “goldbricking an intelligent :
public is past.”
I
One’s money worth, no more no less, is offerred, and on such
a basis of honesty our business is beng established and built.
Beginning with the first of this year we are trying to put into
effect the requirements of the food administration, namely:
Closing at six o’clock, one delivery a day and limiting credit
to thirty days.
With our customers and the public generally helping us out
by complying with our request, we and all other merchants
are going to be able to reduce the price and still make a fair
margin on our investment to which we believe we are en
titled.
In helping your retail merchant you are following out that
good and grand slogan “It’s what we do over here that
counts over there.”
Eight Hour Working Day One Delivery a Day Beginning January 1st .
THIRTY DAYS CREDITS j
