We try to advertise honestly, week after week, year in and year out, we have been trying to gain your confidence, and when we advertised BARGAINS you always find the prices and the goods just as we advertised them. Such business speaks for itself, and is never suggestive of holabaloo or "fish story." Every Woman in Poor Health Has an awful struggle.
