A Book of Interest more absorbing' than the most thrilling-work of fiction is a bank book. Its tale is never to long, nor its pages too many, and its long rows of figures, so dry in other books are intensely interesting. But in order to enjoy its pages each person must have a book of their own and one dollar will start it. Get one now. OGDEN STATE BANK DEPOSITS $2,000,000.00 H. C. BIGELOW, President A. P. BIGELOW, Cashier J. M. BROWNING, Vice President J. E HALVERSON, Asst. Cashier The Unfairness of Two Prices. Strict Honesty is the watch word of modern business. Dishonest Trusts operating in the restraint of trade are being disolved. The American love of honesty and fair play will eventually eliminate every policy that has a "crook" in it. If we win, we must play fair. The merchant is unfair who says: "Our regular price is $1.00, but the price to you is 50c. If he gives you the cheap price he's unfair to some one else and how are you to know that he has'nt a still better price for others. Our policy is a One Price Policy and it's square. You buy here as cheaply as anyone. The prices are as low as consistent with good business. When we make cheaper prices we advertise it not to you alone but to the public. And on these lines the business is healthy and growing. WRIGHTS Both Stores THE ACORN PUBLISHED BI-MONTHLY BY THE STUDENTS OF THE WEBER ACADEMY, OGDEN, UTAH, U. S. A.
