Volcanic
Eruption!
Uight here in Nome at the Sur
prise Store prices knocked all to
pieces, burying competitors small
and big.
It is needless to say that we are
the cheapest store that ever came to
Nome, and with our incoming stoek
we will be able to blow our competi
tors’ high prices all to pieces. The
missing “ad.” fakers will feel the
same as all the others. Our aim is
to sell cheap for cash.
Wait till the boats come; then
come to us—you will be surprised at
our low prices. We and everybody
else are selling out; try to rent the
selling- out fakers' store.
