"How Would You Like to Be
the Iceman
is another vaudeville song. It ought to make a
hit in summer theatres. The song of low prices
is' what has made the hit at Shields' Cash Gro
eery. A few years ago when it was first heard
skeptics said it couldn't last. It did last, though,
and SHIELDS'-CASH GROCERY is still do
ing business at the old stand. Cutting the prices
and dividing the profits with the purchasers.
The moral is plain: If you want to take advant
age of this kind of dealing, trade here.
