Do you think it is fair to hold up the retail price when the livestock market is down? If so, we differ with you. Our motto is: To follow the market. If the livestock market drops, that is the time to drop retail prices.

Also we run this market at the least possible expense so as to keep prices within the reach of all. Do not overlook the fact that we positively will not give PRICES OVER THE PHONE at any time. This. has been the rule for three years, and we find it helps to keep our overhead expenses down, and by so doing, means that you can live out of this store for less than any place in the State of California. We have some surprises in store for you today.
