Jit's early Spring an t most men are in the prospec*

get the best value and satisfaction together with good
taste and stylo comes up.
' . 1 ? ; _ . ? ? ? ' -
The sign displayed at the top of this "ad" gives the
answer. We are proud t >^>e the possessor of this sign
in our city. It's "insurance" that any. clothing pur
chaser is getting his money's worth of everything a suit
or topcoat possesses and the selection of this line was
made after careful observ \tlon before we decided to ex
ploit it here. It has proven its worth!
New Spring light-we ght coats and suits have just

- ^pO produce a fine white flour, which also retains the
JL real nutrition and sweetness o? . the wheat, is the/
ambition of every miller. In the products of the old
Piedmont Mills, "PIEDMONT" ?nd "PUftlTAN"
thip ambition is realized. ?
By the Piedmont process of milling these familiar old
brands carry every desirable* property of the grain, and
their use results fn thelightestand most wholesome breads
and cake! The same satisfactory flour is the foundation
of "Argus Self-Rising," from which the best biscuits are
made simply by jthe addition of milk or water, and lard.
The products of the Piedmont mills have been famous
for a hplf century. You can buy the Piedmont flour now
in pre-war quality since the Government has removed
its restrictions on milling. f
