If* ness Preparedness is the word of the hour. The Nations have learned their lesson and learned it thoroughly, and at great cost. No Nation will be allowed in future to take any other Nation by surprise. The same word "Preparedness" might also be applied to domestic life at this particular time. The signs of the times would indicate that inthe not far distant future, in fact it is already noticeable, that prices of food stuff a--. more particularly groceries of all kinds--will go-, up in price. Our Advice Is : To "lay in" a liberal supply of gioceri^s while The Model Grocery is selling them at such low prices, as there is no assurance how long we will be able to continue these prices. Our Aim Is : At all times to provide the best quality of groceries at the lowest possible prices. Remember we always have something extra on Fridays and Saturdays of each week. W.
