If you went into a shop with a halfcrown in your hand and adied the man behind the counter to lye good enough to change it for you what would you think if he gave you back oidv two shillings?. You would, of course, demand your half-crown hack and go to a- place where you would get Iwo shillings and sixpence-in honest coin for your half-crown. You would ho quit© certain that the man who wanted "to give you only two shilling- wn.s not treating you fairly, and yet some of you will go on year after year quite prepared to pay the .highest price'for your goods, lio matter how much cheaper yoiumiglr purchase them if you tried elsewhere. When you wish to replace that worn out cutlery or any other kitchen requisites just give The People’s . Emporium a chance. Crockerv and Glassware, Stationery and Fancy Goods are all there, marked in plain figures, and if the prices donot suit you well you are quite at liberty to purchase elsewhere. Wo are not afraid of that, but we just want you to look at our goods, and compare prices and qualities with those sold elsewhere.* /
