N anticipation of the increased demand for our already large bus-
iness caused by the greatly increased wealth and population of
Matagordo and surrounding counties of which Bay City is the
trade center, we have left no stone unturned, and now announce
that we are heavily stocked with dependable merchandise in
every department and that same is priced at fair and just figures,
much less than you would pay for like merchandise in big city
We especially invite comparison on Men’s and Boys’ Clothing,
and Ladies' and Misses’ Suits, Dresses and Coats; goods that have been
selected with great care from responsible makers who are leaders in
their respective lines. Notably among them the Virginia Dare Dresses
and Miss America Middies, all of which we can confidently recommend

the desiro, on the part of the retuil-
(r«, to sell more sugar.
In meeting the contentlona for larg-
er allotments the food administration
has advised distributors through the
c( tmty food administrators as fol
lows:
' It must be taken Into consideration
that whereas certificates held by re-
tailers in July and August represented
only GG 2-8 per cent of their face vul-
<te certificates held by retailers in
September represent thoir face value
and have been issued up to the
amounts of 80 per cent of the sugar
asked for by all retailers. In oth-
er words, the allotments to retailers
on thoir statement ”E' for September
is an Increase of 15 per cent over the
amount of sugar going through that
channel in August. This Increase
has been mode possible hy a special
allotment of two million pounds over
the August allotment on account of
sugar sold by retailers for preserving
purposes in July and August.
‘ While these two million jHiunds
will not fully replace all sales made
on account <»f preserving and can-
ning. the amount will help to even
matters up somewhat. Therefore, dis-
trict and county administrators will
please explain to those dealers sub-
mitting claims for additional sugar
that there Is no additional sugar.”
