IOW that the
past (when
KEEK &
MM sal
Baby Carriages and Refrigerators)
we don't care to see the demand dim
inish, so we have made the prices SO
TEMPTING that even at this late
day Baby Carriages and Refriger
ators will roll from our floors with
the same rapidity as of yore. You
don't need much -money. Why?
Firstly, we cut the prices in half and
will sell them at the remaining half;
and secondly, you can pay $2.00 per
month or 50 cents per week, with a
small cash deposit "Put1 money in
thy purse and hither wend thy way."
