Sckool Election.
The election held here Tues-
day, to determine whether or
not a special school tax of So
i on the SlOOi valuation
should be levied to continue the
free schools fcf Wills Point for
ten months in the year, was/held under direction and authority
very quiet. There were only
119 votes polled, 26 against and
■84 for the school tax. In our
opinion this is a step forward,
as nothing helps a town more
r" than a good school. "

VOLUME XXII - —7 - “- ----
Some years ago we begun business in Wills Point, adopting and continuously persueing, an honest, open business course—using no
deception or so-called “tricks of trade.” Our success has been phenomenal. We are now the leading Dry Goods, Clothing-and
Shoe firm, selling more goods for cash, than any other house in Wills Point or Van Zandt county. This due to the indisputable fact
that we have and will handle only first-class, reliable goods that give satisfaction. And by buying for spot cash, and marking our
goodfc with the smallest possible margin, we have and do undersell all competitors. We are the pioneers of low prices in this placed
and will continue'to underbuy and undersell all competitors and.followers. The large patronage we have is sufficient evidence to us s . ■
that the people appreciate our efforts to please them.. This prosperous and highly satisfactory business decade must be the largest.
We are going to sell more goods in 1899 than ever before. To do this we have prepared owrselves wdh the lowest prices possible .
