the gross receipts was entirely

"Trading Stamps" will be given on
cash purchases• Those who have
decided in favor of this action includes
Kirby's Grocery, Gulf Market &
Grocery, Kirby's Dry Goods, Hum-

chosen in order to allow charge
customers an opportunity to receive the
stamps on their November accounts.
