We Are Behind the Gun
AND WE f\RE GOING TO SHOOT STRAIGHT AT THE MARK
JACKSONVILLE IS IN THE SWIM
The tidal wave that brings joy to the peo-
ple’s hearts has reached Cherokee County. The
poor as well as the rich can now have some of
the good things of this world. KING’S
THREAD, not owned, made or controlled by
the trust, goes to all the people AT 2c SPOOL.
CLARK’S O. N. T. THREAD
7 Spools 25c.
S27,876.23
Worth of Highest Grade Merchandise to be
Turned over to the People of Cherokee Co.
CYCLONES OR SAND STORMS
Can’t stop the work, and like chain lightning
the work commences.
ONLY 30 DAYS
but it will bring sunshine to your homes. Every
item in the store bears the big red mark of de-
struction, and
YOU GET THE BENEFIT
m
SATURDAY MORNING. JUNG 4™
and winding up July 4th at midnight. We are not filibustering, but pouring cannon balls into 'em which will make would-be-kompetition think they have struck the days they dream
of. We, as well as hundreds of others in this wide world, bought thousands of dollars’ worth of goods, more than we have any use for at the present time; and KOLD KASH is what we
must have quicker than anything you ever heard of. We are going to undertake without the aid of the sheriff to CONVERT THIS GIGANTIC STOCK INTO CASH WITHIN THE
NEXT 30 DAYS. It’s cash we must have to satisfy our appetite. We are now at the bat, coats off and sleeves rolled up; our word is out that these THIRTY DAYS will sound like re-
bellion days,' if any of these would-be-kompetitors get in front of the big gatlin guns. We must have money. This Store must have thousands of dollars in the next thirty days. We
want you all to be with us Saturday, June 4th, and if you are here then, you will be with us for the next twenty-nine days to a certainty. Not since Jacksonville came on the map have you
seen such storming the forts to get cash. The whole store goes—nothing held in reserve. Over 69,000 items on sale to be turned over to the people in the next thirty days. Merchandise
here at retail—you get it for less than others own theirs at wholesale.
There Will be a Revolution Among the People.
They will push and pull and hustle to get some of the good things we offer. The roads will be crowded. Some will kum in wagons, some in buggies, some in karriages, some on foot,
a hoss back and in the varnished kars. All roads will lead to Jacksonville and our Store will be a seething mass of humanity. Every price will be in plain figures. Thousands of big red
figures will stare you in the face as you enter the door. IT’S THE MARK OF DESTRUCTION. Would-be-kompetitors will be jumping sideways during this Sale. They will have time
to take their much needed vacation. Our Sale will be the SALE OF SALES. It’s in full blast here next Saturday morning at daylight. Pins will be two papers for lc, and those famous
Hooks and Eyes will be two cards for lc. Whoever heard the like? They cost you 5c a card elsewhere. HUNDREDS OF BED SPREADS AND LACE .CURTAINS—two for about the
price of one elsewhere, while all DRESS GOODS are sold for less money than if the sheriff had ’em to sell. It’s kold komfort for the other fellow, but it’s joy for the people.
ITS A SLAUGHTER IN CLOTHING
We are going to fit all the men and all the boys in this community with Clothing. Send word to your neighbors and friends, they will appreciate it. One lot Men’s Suits worth $5
to $6 in gold, at 11.98 a suit. Another lot that can’t be duplicated in any of these war price stores under $8 to $10, sale price $3.69. We expect the other fellow to tell you that it is a one-
piece suit, but here is what constitutes a suit here during this great cash-getting-sale: One pair of Pants, one Vest and Coat to match. Did he ever give you any more? Then we have
Men s Suits at $4.69 $5.98 $6.98 $8.89 up to $11.69 that would cost you $3 to $6 more in any store in Texas. Boys’ Clothing almost given away compared to what others get for them.
1 MEN’S SUITS $1.98.
BOYS’ WASH PANTS I lc A PAIR.
BOYS’ WAISTS HsJEAC]
One dollar here during this sacrifice, cash-getting
sale will very nearly do the work of two dollars elsewhere
n hundreds of items. It’s the greatest undertaking of
fcir lives. You will see signs and hear of signs, but they
Ml only be signs of distress. You will see sales and hear
■sales, but there will be only one sale for the people,
■ that will be at GINN’S IN JACKSONVILLE.
Y Our word is out, and that is our bond to the people.
^^)UR SHOES for men, women and children will send
^ them all this way. The reputation of this Store has stood
at a straight 100 per cent since the house was built and
has been won on HONEST SHOES. They must all move
now if prices will do the work. One big bin piled full of
Shoes for women at 69c a pair that would be considered
cheap in any of these war price stores at $1.50. Another
bin piled full of Men’s Dress Shoes at 98c that are worth
double in gold, and the Shoes we are selling for men and
women at $1.19 are worth anywhere you go $1.75 to $2.
We’ve got another lot of Men’s Shoes at $1.48 and one for
women at the same price that are worth from $2 to $2.50
in any store in Texas. That lot of Misses’ Shoes at 48c
a pair can’t be duplicated for double the money. Then
we have Shoes for children and Shoes for the babies that
cost you but little. It is the opportunity of your lives to
get Shoes enough now to last you for the next year. You
can fit the whole family out at about the price of one pair
elsewhere. We believe the people will accept the golden
opportunity that’s before them. It’s sure they will if they
will only come in and see the prices.

Tinware, all Notions at the most ruinous prices you ever
