WE ARE VERY
GLAD TO SAY
we handle high grade meats
only. It's not just a claim, it’s
a solid fact. Yet we do not
charge high prices. On the
contrary you’ll probably pay
less for meat here than you
have been paying heretofore.
Give us a chance to prove that
high-class meats can be sold at
low prices.
