J:• j ' -....- We have often advertised that our Wholesale Prices saved the farmer 25 per cent, or more as against the storekeeper's retail charges. JIT HERE IS ACTUAL PlWf, A customer walked into our Warehouse towards the end of January and said : " I ran short of provisions just before the New Year holidays, and had to buy some goods from my local storekeeper, but look at his account. The | goods cost me 475. 3d;, and your Catalogue price for the same articles is just 28s- 2d. I had to pay nearly twice your price. HERE IS A REPRODUCTION OF THE STOREKEEPER'S BILL, , WHICH WE STILL HAVE IN OUR POSSESSION, WITH OUR CATALOGUE PRICES FILLED IN FOR COMPARISON:— Post Office Store, ' ' 30/11/12. - La.idlaw Leeds' • ' Bought ot ~ : : , , Wholesale Prices. v General Storekeeper and Carrier. 1 Catalogue Page.

There can be no question of a difference; in quality, as we have given Catalogue pages so that you may turn up and verify prices and brands for v yourself. NOTE; . ' v ' ■ ' LET US EMPHASISE THIS POINT. If we can save you all this on QroceiieSv which carr)f only a small margin of profit, surely there is no extravagance in saying that we can save you more oh Drapery, Clothing, Boots, Saddlery,, Hard ware,, Furniture, Jewellery, Crockery, and hundreds of lather lines on which the retailers make big profits, If you have our Catalogue, use it; if you haven't, it's fijee for the asking.
