It means being sound through and through. It means serving the customer’s best interests whether the, customer knows it or not. It means selling merchandise that is up to standard values that stand the closest com- parisons, prices that are absolutely f: to you and to us. Obviously, such lofty ideals find their reward in the patronage of high-minded people, who year after year have made this store their headquarters for shopping. %Vm Sale of Notions and Small Wares THREADS Sc Willington Basting Thread, all numbers, 8 to 80, 200-yd. spools, black and white at..
