A Plain Statement That You
Should Read.
It has Ihhmi tlie custom of this store,
for 11 number of year#, to have a spe
cial selling event during the Fall ami
Winter months. Conditions at the be
ginning of the season, this year,
brought us face to face with a serious
problem to solve. 1 could not bring
myself to the point of breaking in on
this established custom, and especially
this season, when it would mean so
much? ? -more than ever before ? to my
customers nnd friends who have been
so loyal to this store.
I was face to face with the problem
of advanced prices- on every hand.
Husjness was u<mm|.; hut. in spite of
conditions, I was not lone in making
up my mind that (his big ;u;lling event
would be hehl this year the same as In
previous years, and began making pre
parations for il early. I could see the
Idg advance in price coming ? I could
s<*e no help for it, due to the enormous
demand and the many complications
that have come before the manufactur
ers, jobbers and the dealers In the raw
materials. I searched the markets ear
ly, made purchases far ahead as I
could. That. I was fortunate in this
can la'st be told by a visit to this big
store. No line of merchandise In this
store today but is worth more than 1
paid for It. I consider this my good
fortune, as I am in position to hold
to the old selling price. Having paid
but very little advance, naturally you
will not Ih\ asked to pay the advanced
prhvs If you trade here.
As I make this announcement, 1 feel
that there is nothing too strong to be
said In favor of your taking advantage
of this big selling event. It means a
saving that everyone will appreciate;
and today, with the buying public so
well educated as to values In merchan
dise. 1 feel that the values I have will
be appreciated more than ever before.
We must not overlook the fact that
the crop is short. To offset this, cotton
and seed Is bringing a big. price. This
means much to the consumer, and when
taking into consideration with the oi>
? portunihy to trade at this live store,
I feel sure of my statement, made at
the head of this ad. "That, never before
in the history of this store have I ever
come to you with an announcement as
Important as this onc."^ The consumer
never was In (Hisltion to invest his mo
ney to better advantage. The truth of
this statement can be verified by any- 1
one making comparisons. Examine the
merchandise sold here ? the quality, the
price. Ih* It honestly, you'll soon real
ize that this Is your big opportunity.
For once in my business experience,
hea v\ stocks are welcome. I have on
hand today the largest stock I ever car
ried. AN'I> TIIK LARGEST STOCK
OF MEIKUIANIHSE IN CAMDEN.
I Because I haw this merchandise, and
i own It at the old prices, i am in posi
' tion to save you dollars and dollars on
the things that you hnve to buy. There
la a cordial Invitation to everyone to
