Why Not Now? 
Nowhere in the city, is there a store which is so thoroughly 
stocked with such a choice line of groceries and provisions, 
as you will find here, in our old ‘‘new’ home. 
We have spared no expense to make our store the leader in its 
line on Cape Ann, and we will spare no expense to maintain 
the lead which we now have. 
Our own cold storage plant, recently installed, serves to keep 
fresh, our entire stock of meats. 
Our low prices on Suturday specials, will surprise you. 
Yours for a square deal.
