We believe that no business establishment, sincerely interested in its patrons’ welfare and ever striving to obtain best possible results for them, can carry two or more lines of the same class of merchandise selling at the same price, without a knowledge of superiority of one over the other, Is one honest to his patrons who sells against his own best knowledge ?
