Such a stoi c i- li: ua'.ly found to have definite objectives, and to tie absolutely honest in its dealings with the community- Serving as it should, it becomes a community institution. C. E. Ray's Sons feels its respon sibilities keenly. Its objective al ways has been to give the community substantial merchandise at the very lowest prices possible. Always the Store has tried to be as modern as po&sible; both in equipment and in merchandise carried- It has tried to seriXe homeflolks first, and at the same time, to provide facilities needed by summer visitors. The latter is important in order that they may enjoy and prolong their stay among us. Today we believe that we have a better store; better merchandise; and a better salesforoe than ever before. We promise you for Christmas and for 1935, better service, merchan dise and values than ever before. During recent months extremely keen competition has developed in the field of low priced goods. As a re sulting condition, there is a tendency for sub-standard,., imperfect, and inferior merchandise to be offered. C. E- Ray's Sons has no intention of olfering you such b'ul buys as these goods turn out to lx We have no desire to sell you trash. In business 40 years ago. we expect to be in business in Waynesville 40 years hence. Remember its thrifty to buy good merchandise. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU C. E.
