ucts These quotations indicate the
prices paid by the dealer to the pro.

with the retail prices which the mer-
ebants charge the consumers. The
retail prices are of course hither
than the following quotations:
EM*. <0c-
Hens, 15c per lb.
Krycra, 20c per lb
Butttr, 35c.
Butter fat. 63c.
Country lard, 30c.
Sweet potatoes, $2.50 per bushel.

Strict low middling, 30c.
Low middling, 26c.
lu.ils, $12 per tou.
Cotton seed, $55 per ton.
Cotton seed meal, $3.50, 100 lbs.
The produce market js very quiet.
The frequent rains, and consequent
bad roads, keep the farmers at
home, and when there are a few
days of sunshine there is so much
farm work needing attention that
most of the fanners fee! they have
io time for a trip to town.
Chickens are not so plentiful as
formerly. Local buyers still report
a fair supply of fryers, but hens are
scarce, owners feeling it is more
profitable to sell eggs than to dis-
pose of hens. Eggs are being mar-
kited in rather large quantities and
express shipments to various points
are being made each day.
Butter is rather scarce, but local
dealers expect good supplies in the
near future.
Sweet potatoes are being market-
ed In small quantities and the price
is high. Growers feel that this is
not a t'u'Kl time to dig the potatoes
and the home-grown articles are
scarce, though some are being
shipped in.
Cotton Market (juit-t.
Local buyers state that despite
the high prices practically no cotton
has been marketed in Brenham this
week on account of the muddy
roads and difficulty of hauling the
staple to town.
The oil mill reports very small re-
ceipts of cotton seed. An early fall
in fhv price of cotton seed meal is
expected.

Whether
Right With
PIGGLY WIGGLY
The First Piggly Wiggly Store Opens In Brenham
At 9 AM. Friday, Sept 26
OLD SCHAWE STAND
There are no secrets about the Piggly Wiggly organization; therefore, each man and woman who visits the Piggly Wiggly
store can know in advance of coming that such a store has been built especially for them, whether they happen to be rich or
poor, wise or not wise.
A dollar in the hands of a person who has only one dollar will obtain a full dollar's worth at Piggly Wiggly prices, and
that is all that can be obtained by the rich man's dollar.
Open at 9 O'clock JPriday Morning
Come and see for yourself that a i'iggly
Wiggly store is different from any store in
the world—that it looks different—that the
system is different—that the prices are low-
er—the assortment of food products is great-
er—that the orderly arrangement of the en-
tire store makes it possible to have an ab-
solutely clean store.
Food products of a variety, including
fresh fruits and vegetables, of more than
one thousand items, each item priced by a
swinging price tag.
Nationally known advertised brands of a
most comprehensive assortment is the class
of merchandise to be found in every Piggly
Wiggly store.
A basket is loaned for use while in the
store.
All packages are wrapped at the checking
counter.
The operating cost of Piggly Wiggfy
stores is the lowest of any heretofore
known method of retail distribution. This
saving in operating cost is given to the con-
sumer, affording prices in which are savings
that can not be obtained elsewhere.
Come Friday and look at a store that is
absolutely clean—that is methodical in ev-
ery detail—a store that looks different from
any store in the world—a store that by its
very looks impresses visitors with a picture
they cannot forget.
You can look and be at home in this store
and go through its four separate aisles upon
a lour of Inspection as to the merchandise,
as to its cleanliness as to the prices and for
doing this you will be handed it flower free
that you may know that wo are wind that
you came.
If you set? something that you want to buy
of your own free will that, you can exercise
without argument with anyone, without per-
suasion from anyone, without intimation
from anyone, without suggestion from any-
one, without mental contact whatsoever
from anyone if you want to make a pur-
chase voluntarily—we, of course, will be
triad to have you as a customer.
The main thing, however, that we want
everybody to know is, that it is desired to
have Brenham women and Prenham men
come and look at these wonderful stores—
we will be satisfied with their judgment of
our claim that Hrenham will have a saving
in her food bill that will go Into thousands
of dollars by cashing In on the opportunity
afforded by Piggly Wiggly stores,
Piggly Wiggly Storus are a national af-
fair with wad! city and town unit co-oper-
ating with all other town units toward a low-
er coat in operation and with ability to make
lower price*.

The Primary Idea of Piggly Wiggly is That WASTE IS WRONG and That the ELIMINATION of WASTE Should
Begin With Humanity's First Need—Food
m;u Each Picfflv Wiggly City or Town Unit Cooperates With Every City or Territory Unit Throughout the Entire Country
for Their Mutual Good, Each Piggly Wiggly City or lerritory Unit is Owned Separately Under a License
and the Profits go to the Operators of Each City Unit
