Prices quoted in this ad should clearly convince intelli,gent housekeepers of the fact that independent mer'chants who give time, thought and study to businessare well qualified to sell you the finest quality foodsat lowest possible prices.Independent Merchants are the backbone of every com'munity and are deserving of support . Thinking peo'pIe who are interested in local institutions must realizethat money spent outside their home town is a ruin'ous drain of its life'blood so necessary in the develop'ment, growth and prosperity of any worth'while town.It is also natural that outside corporations doing busi,ness in local communities are now particularly inter'ested in local enterprise."Buy All Your Food From Your Independent Grocer"
