JC8T A .MISTAKE
We are informed that one of oar
readers misread the advertisement of
the Louisburg Grocery Company rel
ative to giving away five pounds of
Louishnrg Waterground Table Meal
free and cut out six advertisement*
?three which had appeared in one
issue of this psper and three which
had appeared in another?and sub
mitted them to this concern for the
free meal.
Of course, had our reader read the
rdvertisement very carefully, she
would have known that the meal is
to be given sway for the six separate
and different advertisements carried
in this paper which have a separate
and different recipe, all of which ara
to be tried before presenting for free
meal.
Only three advertisements, includ
ing the one in this issue, have ap
peared so far in this series. We
trust that our readers will follow the
instructions given in .this advertise
ment from now' on. Anyway. It all
provea that It pays to advertise in
The Franklin Times.
