among the receipts. The chicken
market rules little changed. Receipts
are about normal 'very few fryers
being received and broilers about as
scarce as their teeth.
The egg market continues firm and
the 19c quotation to the trade is
standing firm something rare at this
period of the year in this section. This
season is a record breaker for good
eggs. The reason shipments have not
been allowed to accumulate having
been kept moving rapidly to the con-
sumer. The potato market maintains its
firmness with prices on the upturn.
Local quotations to the trade range
around $1.75 per bushel. Strawberry
receipts are becoming heavier but the
demand Is equal to the supply. A good
demand is developing outside the city
while the city demand alone would di-
gest the supply.
A general good feeling prevails In
business circles over the coast coun-
try yet as far as anything material
is concerned there is little change
from preceding weeks. Collections are
only fair the commercial agencies re-
port. Unseasonable weather no doubt
Is retarding greatly all lines of busl-
ess. "

in our various lines. We went in search of a line ofMattresses that we could thoroughly advertise as the BEST
MADE. To be sure of our position we visited several MATTRESS FACTORIES; saw the material used; studied their
method of manufacture; saw'the felting; ascertained just how many pounds and of what grade of cotton went into
each grade of mattress and etc. We also called on some of the largest and most successful retailers of
mattresses to get an opinion from them. Our investigation proved most conclusively that the best line of
mattresses made was made in Dallas Texas by THE TOM BURNETT CO. and known as
