"Quigg's Store News" Nearly everybody is aware of the fast changing merchandise market. There is scarcely anything bought wholesale today that is not much higher than one year ago. This applies not only to Hardware and Implements, but what you eat and wear also. Like a great many retail stores we have tried hard to avoid the necessity of increasing our selling prices on staples by buying early in nearly all lines. This has taken an extra effort to take care of these goods, and pay for them when due, but we can feel confident for awhile at least that we have the goods and the price that should get your business.
For some things we sell, as with all other lines of trade, higher prices have been paid and will continue to be paid, as they are for such goods as cannot be had by early purchasing. However we want to impress upon our customers that now as never before in a great many years, you should be sure and get your home dealer's price on anything you are going to need. A. R.
