TO THE PUBLIC.
In launching a co-operative mar-
ket in El Reno we feel that we have
taken a long stride in the right direc-
tion. While this is a railroad man's
proposition so far as the financial
backing of the business is concerned,
we shall cater to the trade of this en-
tire community, believing that we
can give giltedge service and hoping
the community will demonstrate its
appreciation of our efforts by giving
us a fair share of their patronage.
No effort will be made to under
sell or undermine any established
business, but we are and will be in
no combine for the false inflation of
prices of any foodstuffs which we
may see fit to handle. Our prices
will be such as will be consistent
with sound business management and
on this basis we ask the support of
the people of El Reno and. vicinity.
