The tendency of the times is toward a will-o’-
S' the : wisp called “cheapness.” J
While prices have been going down, qualities
? * have been going down too, and deception has be- ' J
jj \ come so widespread as to almost pass unnoticed.
wt * We lay it down as a principle, eternal as the * £
hills, that “cheap” things are never cheap. They 'f?
' 1 are neither durable nor satisfactory. * j
You have got to pay a fair price
if you want to get a good article.
Good things cannot be purchased at the price of ( ji,
S t bad things. Tinware is no exception to the J
rule. No one can sell an absolutely “straight” < £
Jj article for less money than we can. , J
t There are several grades of Tinware. We £
j' handle the highest grade in this town, and guar- }
antee satisfaction in quality and prices. We are j?
