Opening of Our Store Promises Low, Consistent Prices
The text touts customer confidence and satisfaction as the store’s backbone.

It notes price reductions on former stock to clear space for regular inventory.
Cash Only Stores Offer Lower Prices
The store promotes cash only sales to avoid losses from non collectible bills and delivery costs. Cash buyers receive the full benefit, with no charge accounts or home delivery.
Stocks to Close At Once Lower Prices
Former stocks will be closed with immediate effect at reduced price levels. Items include corsets and related notions from J C Penny Company, with a range of dress goods and kindred lines offered.
Chronology of 1037 events and Dillon notes
A late 1930s Dillon chronology lists deaths from self harm and accidents, local officials reports, a city budget of 55 000 dollars, a flower show, school and Rotary events, and multiple sports results including Pocatello beating Beaver in a close game. It records a funeral, diplomas, annual meetings, and civic activities with several named individuals and places.
