We honor the con- fidence our friends have in us and pledge to all the highest quality merchandise at fair prices. As stockholders in our own wholesale company (American Hardware Supply Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa.) whose normal inventory is more than $2,000,000 we are in a position to draw from as we need—regardless of quan- tities we purchase—all nationally advertised merchandise at the lowest competitive prices. By owning an interest in our own whole. sale company you are assured at all times that we will not unjustly raise prices due to scarci- ties nor will we deal in the so-called gray or black market. We are hopeful that present world con- ditions will not necessitate the closing of many factories that might cause runaway prices, but whatever the future holds, we intend to do everything within our power to serve our com- munity well at the lowest possible price.
