You Can't Get Something for Nothing. To Seek to do so is to Invite Fraud and Decep-
tion, and your are Certain to get "Stung" Sooner or Later
Every merchant is in business for the money he can make out of it. He must make a profit if he stays in business. He
is entitled to a legitimate profit on every article that he sells. 1 herefore, if staple articles are offered for a time for less
than they cost in order to attract the unwary purchaser, this lost profit must be added to other articles about which he
is not so well posted. For the profit must come; expenses have to be paid; and to our mind such methods are a re-
flection upon the intelligence of the buying public. Anyhow, we don t do business that way, and yet, when we figure
on a bill of groceries, we almost invariably sell it for less.
1 his store stands for QUALl I \ and FAIR DEALING. It has stood the test lor a quarter of a century. It has grown
continually. It is the oldest, the largest, the most modern grocery establishment in West Texas. It pays more actual
cash to the farmers for their cotton than all the other grocery stores combined. No concern in this country can buy
cheaper than we do. None can undersell us and continue long in business. If quality, cleanliness, good service and
fair dealing appeal to you. you I! like trading at this store.

Dwight Bellows was up latter
part of the week from Anson to
see homefolks. He says on some
of their upland they are making
a bale of cotton to the acre, but
in the timber country boll wee-
vils have about cleaned things j
up.
Speaking aud Advertising.
Advertising man the other day
made a other statement which!
read something like this:
"if an ordinary business man j
were called upon to make a five]
minute address to an audience of
20,000 people he would worry
about it for a month, would spend
a week in getting ready, would
carefully weigh the id'Vet of each
word he expected to utter, and
he might even have an attack of;
heart failure at the last minute.
"But when the same man pur-:
poses to address an audience of
1.00,000 or 500,000 through an
advertisement and pay handsome-
ly for the privilege he joyously
flashes off a few superlatives and j
dismisses the whole matter. ;
Should he happen to be busy ,
he delegates the job to the office
boy.
