To Patrons & Friends: This is the beginning of another season with cotton at 1 and o cents per pound. This means cheap goods or no sale. I have got the goods mid they have got to be sold an 1 as I have always said I never allow anyone to undersell me. the m >ncy is what 1 want and tint I am going -to have if you come in my store. I have a big stock as usual, tresli and nice; never have and old stale stock. FRESH GOODS coming in every day. I went in business in 1894 when cotton was about the same price it is now and 1 am .-till here doing my share; some predicted that I would not pull through that sea? son. Low pi iced cotton don't frighten me, I have gone through a hotter battle I ban t his. 1 sold my goods for such small pro fits, I find that i! pays to make small profits and quick sales. I have kept it up and I don't wan't to change it. L will say to those who have stores in the country to come in 1 will divide the profits with you as I have always done. Some business houses may tell you they carry a larger Stock than I do; you can say to them von get more for a dollar AT HINSON'S than yo\i get from them, it make but little difference to you lib iv much ntock they carry. Wh it you waat is all you can get for \our money. I am satified with the past and I know I will be with the future for I am working just as hard for y?<ur trade as I c\er did. Come oil you will find me at the sainq place. Yours Respectfully, D. E. HINSON. Til K Camden Furniture Store.
