A Rare Treat for the public.
This has been by far the best season
that we have ever enjoyed in
businesso We have had to buy
stacks of goods to meet the demands.
The seer ctof our recordbreaking
business is this: We
/ A
determined at the very beginning
of the season that we would double
our sales in the Drv Goods, Cloth%>
1
ing and Shoe department, and we
have succeeded by buying a better
class of goods and selling them at a
much smaller profit : : : :
Now for the Treat j
Along with our many good values
in each department, we have broken
our own record in buying by scoop
ing in one of the biggest lilies of
Drummers Samples
carried by any drummer on the
%r *
road; We bought the entire line
of samples from the big dry goods
and notion concern, Stebbins, Lawson
& Spragins Co., of South Boston,
Ya. In this line you will lind
anything from a paper of needles
to a Ladies &15.00 Rain Coat or
Jacket, or a bachelor button to a
suit of clothes for boys or men.
You will find many tilings here
%J V
that you have never seen in a town
?
much larger than this. We haven't
space to mention the different articles,
but will just say that they are
i ' all good serviceable goods and will
be sold at less than manfacturers'
cost. We bought them at 50c on
the $1.00. Think of it, $900.00
worth of samples, only one or two
articles alike. IIow many articles
