IF YOU GET IT OF
FERGUSON & CRAIG
IT'S ALL RIGHT
Under no circumstances will this store offer a second grade article in order to make a larger profit. You are aware that that kind of busi- ness doesn't pay and we are as well aware of it as you.
We want every one to feel at liberty in this store; "If we have what you desire we want you to be the buyer." It's a great satisfaction to buy what you want, but it is a sore trial to be sold something you do not care for.
This store is distinctly a store for Buyers, and the youth will get the same values as the adult and all who buy their JEWELRY of
FERGUSON & CRAIG
No. 5 Main St., Champaign, III. WILL always GET THEIR MONEY'S WORTH
