W. C. YATES.
Groceries and Meats.
To the prudent and economical housekeeper, no question arises of more importance than the knowledge of where to buy her table necessities and household wants the cheapest and best, and it seems from the large patronage given W. C. Yates that he is deciding that question in the minds of many households in Baxter Springs and vicinity. Located at 1015 Military Avenue and carrying a heavy stock of pure food groceries and fresh and cured meats of every kind and description, this store is numbered among the leaders in its line in the county. It is equipped with modern fixtures, the large stock is neatly displayed and the establishment presents an attractive appearance on all occasions. Starting in business here about two years ago and adhering to straightforward methods and square dealing with all mankind, Mr. Yates has gained the confidence of the buying public by deserving it. Goods are delivered on short notice to any part of the city and the same careful attention is paid to phone orders as those given in person. Mr. Yates is one of the real live wires in the commercial circles of the town and is doing his full share toward the development of the community in which he is operating.
