They hold that saving ts the natural result of prudent expenditure. Begin today to practice this first principle of Thrift by shop- ping where Quality is not only a tradition but a vital living stagdard, and where prices are consistently low—McCreery's. ‘ Special Offering 100 Water Sets 3.95 formerly 6.75 We are actually offering these sets at less than manufactur- . ers’ cost.
