DO YOUR OWN JUDGING.
\\V are not giving anything away this week.
We took no prizes at the San Francisco Fair.
We do claim however that our “Independent Store”
is giving to the people* of Cordova an opportunity to
buy groceries at reasonable prices. This is probably
of more direct benefit to the consumers than an occa-^
sional offering of prize fruit.
