railroads hut the impossible is too much to expect them to do and therefore it is the part of wisdom for the ultimate consumer to provide himself with the goods he needs while the providing is good

avoid the deprivations which may he In store for those who lack foresight or who do not take the trouble to read the business signs of the times fact that the sale is being participated in by 65 a
