NOTICE
We have discontinued the giving of Green
Stamps on purchases and accounts, and we put
this into effect January 31, 1928. Our customers
will please be governed accordingly, as after the
above date this feature was discontinued and from
then on goods bought will not get the stamps.
We have decided to put the cost of operat-
ing the Green Stamps feature into the customers’
pockets-by reducing the prices on our goods, which
will more than offset the value the stamps would
bring on premiums.
