Our Motto: “The Quality Store
a
Speaks volumes. The world today is overrun with the “cheap stores;” you hear “cheap ” “cheap,” from every side and it
is the cry from almost every house top. From these people beware! Spurn them as you would a leper, and instead of flock-
ing to the cheap house come to where Quality talks. The instruction of every man who buys for us, without respect to de-
partments, is to buy goods of quality regardless of price. We do not mean by this to pay more than value for themJbut to pay
good value for good goods. Cj{ This season especially has this been adhered to and the result is more than pleasing. Our
nevv goods are arriving each day and it is a pleasure to open and mark them, and it will be more than a pleasure for you to see
them and for us to show them. Already the early buyers are coming to us and purchasing their supplies for the season and
numbers are coming just to look, and we take as great pleasure m showing them through, for we feel sure that we will sell
them later. Plaids have the call this season and we have them in silks, woolens, mohairs and cottons. Brief summary follows;
Soft taffeta silke in small
and large plaids. Saxe,
blue and brown combina-
tions, green and navy,

As already noted the public-

out of date, and it is now in or-

The highest price quoted in most

ed me and fully comes up to the pro-
prietor’s recommendation.” It saves
more lives than all other throat and
lung remedies put together. Used as a
strength. Here is the enroll-
