Why Not You?
Do you think the poor man has no chance?
Read the lives of Wanamaker, Frick, Gould, Carnegie, and others. These
men were not born with their hands full of railroads and other corpora-
tions, what these men have done you can do—if you have the stuff in
you. The poor man has a chance if he banks with us.
We help you to succeed.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?
Walter Willamson. recently adver-
tised a special sale of sugar in the
Gazette. As a result of letting the
people know of his bargain he sold
2.000 pounds of sugar in one day.
He advertised a special sale on
flour for last Saturday and sold 100
sacks.
There are just two things necessary
to increase your volume of business:
First, you must have the right goods,
at the right prices; Second, you must
let the people KNOW about it There
is no BETTER way of getting in
touch with tlLe people than by ad-
vertising in the Gazette.
How Often Have Yon Been Disappointed
IN PURCHASING A TRUSS?
Doubtless you, like thousands of others, have been the victim
of the seductive advertisements of “mail order concerns,” who
charged you from two to three times the money that we ask
you for the same or superior trusses.
Perhaps you got a fit—more often you didn’t.
We carry a special assortment of trusses in stock.
For two years the writer had charge of the truss department
in one of the largest retail distributers of trusses in Texas, and
while we make no “fake” claims as to cures, eta, we guarantee
to give you the truss you nefed and one that will be as service-
able and comfortable as a truss can be, and at a reasonable
price. Furthermore, we are here with you. One guarantee at
home is worth n hundred in Chicago.
Our veteran friend, Capt. John R.
Ferguson handed us the other day
some literature bearing on the meet-
ing at Chattanooga, Tennessee of the
boys who “wore the grey” together
with a brief synopsis of the greatest
battle ever fought on the American
continent, the bloody slaughter of
Chickamagua in which thirty three
thousand men were killed, wound-
ed and missing. The survivors
of -this historic battle^ will
gather at Chattanooga on May 27, 28,
and 29 and will mark the 50th (Gol-
ii> anniversary of the tragic battles
around Chattanooga. We bid the old
tn who once “stood in line** for
Southern rights a pleasant and hap-
9t visit, and though fifty years have
Httdetheir bodies old, forms bent and
steps uncertain, the martial fires that
j^gtg& thfiir young; bosoms are still
Ibursfng and their lamp of devotion
to home and country will never go
