Where Did You Know Your Groceryman
Tennesee Arkansas or Missouri?
When "Yours Truly" was a boy and lived back in the forks
of the creek we had an old bob-tailed dominecker hen that beat
nmrttitnn' in cDf vnn ovor aowT wVipn she took a settin' notion set
feSra!S?)M she would." Us chaps filled her nest full of old shoes rocks and

you believe it? "set she would" perched right upon the top of those
nail points just-as contented as you please.
Reminds "Yours Truly" of some moss-back citizens who
trade on credit week after week month after month and year
after year same old credit credit credit years in and years out.
One says "Oh! I know my groceryman sticks it to me but you
see I knew him back in Tennessee. I can't quit him". Another
rr-jCij. ' says my groceryman s uuk ueu iu iun uuiuoo n..y uU; o j.
WiajiE back in Missouri I can't quit him."
Sure Mabel that's all nice stuff but fond memories don't pay past-due bills don t
butter Johnny's bread why not trade where the dollar will bring home the most grub.
You can read James Whitcomb Riley's poem' "The Bare Foot Boy" for sentimental
stuff.

"The further north one

Did you know chocolate and cocoa is all the same thing? The only difference
one is a cake and the other a powder. Folks would use more cocoa if they only knew
how cheap it was. We sell cocoa fine as you ever tasted 25c per pound. Cocoa is
stronger and more economical than chocolate and may be used instead of chocolate
for making cakes pies puddings etc. Why pay 15c for a 5th pound. You can't eat
tin cans and paper packing. We buy it in new 100 pound barrels. We keep it clean
and "ell it fast. Its always fresh. Order a full pound of real cbcoa next time 25c.
