i Read Some Plain, Homely Facts About
Groceries.
We are handling a steadily increasing business,
month by month—therms a reason. Plainly speak
* , i' -+ K
ing it’s the giving of good merchandise with an in
telligent service. Making the pricings reasonable
—a hundred cents on the dollar.
*
Several weeks ago the winter supply of potatoes was purchased
! —first quality graded potatoes was selected—no culls will be
I shipped—yon pay only for first grade potatoes.
Dried Fruits were also bought in the original factory packs-~dry
weight guaranteed. The writer discovered some fruits are sold
in bulk—watered down.
This year we added an agency—M. J. B. Coffee. We believe it’s
the best flavored coffee that’s on the market today. We would
like you to give it a trial.
I This is also the Valdes home of Hunt’s Canned Fruits—they’re
the only fruit on the market that is not lye peeled. The price is
thirty-five cents a can, and well -worth it.
It’s on the basis of selling quality merchandise that we are look
ing for business. All we ask is a trial.

Dear Sir: Prohibition has been a
' wonderful blessing to Tacoma. Mor- j
ally, financially, industrially and so
i ciully there has been marked improve-'
' ment.
The effect in reducing crime wss
; immediate. Prohibition went into of-'
feet January 1. In the whole month
1 following, there was not a case of
fighting, or disturbing the peace in
lhis entire city of 100,000—a seaport
< ity with its mixed population.
The population of the City Jail has
decreased so that t.lie contractor who
; feeds prisoners, and formerly had n
good thing, refuses longer to take the
job.
Home life has been greatly bene
, fitted. Money that went for drink is
! r.ow going for comforts and necessi
ties.
Grocers rc|*ort a boom in business,
and better collections. Merchants re
. port larger business, with a boom in
the sale of clothing and shoes.
Building has been greatly stimu-J
Uated. In I he first six months of 191U
i with saloons here, the building opfH
jntions amounted to $314,675; flfl
I same months of 1916 without saloM^
jshowed building operations of $8MU
