Business Heavy Last week we worked on an absolute cash basis and had a large volume of business, in fact the largest for any but two other weeks in our business history; and but for the fact that we refused to get excited over the sugar market and would sell only 25 pounds to any one person, we would have had our heav- iest week of trdde by far. As to sugar, in about three weeks the new crop will. begin to move and while there will not bean over sypply there will be enough to meet. the neces- sities and prices are fixed by the government and will not advance. so buy only as needed. As to selling for lower prices on groceries most merchants say it is impos- sible. Well, we know that it is. impossible. to reduce prices, sell on time. and carry such an overhead cost in present delivery system. But in selling for spot cash, and using all the care possible in delivering, wé have shaded prices very materially, from 5% to 20% in many cases. and a close margin on every- thing, and have had one of _ the most _ satisfactory weeks in the history of our trade. We can and have re- duced prices. It will pay you.—and us too—for you to get our prices. Watch -these ads <for prices, The McConkey Commercial Co. 510 Broadway Phone 209 s
