| The tendency of the times is toward a will-o’- j;
' the-wisp called “cheapness.” ' J
While juices have been going down, qualities
V'* have been going down too, and decej>tion has lie- * %
g| * come so widespread as to almost jiass unnoticed. '
y * We lay it down as a princijjle, eternal as the > w
hills, that “cheap” things are never cheap. They
«jt' are neither durable nor satisfactory. t
£* You have got to pay a fair price *£
if you want to get a good article.
ft Good things cannot be purchased at the price of £
( , bad things. Tinware is no exception to the , 0
rule. No one can sell an absolutely “straight” £
C article for less money than we can. J
There are several grades of Tinware. We J?
J handle the highest grade iii this town, and guar- }
