Some Short, Some Shorter and all Too
Short for a Heading, Yet
None Too Short to
Mention.
The public has been hunted so
presistantly and the trade solici
ted so unscrupulously that many
people are slow to believe any
thing in a bargain they see in an
advertisement. It matters not
what your experience has been in
biting at baits or getting worthless
goods as bargains, it will pay you
to try once more if you have not,
at the Company Store. Our bar
gains do not consist of worthless
goods at little prices. A horse
may sell for ten dollars which
seems cheap, yet be utterly worth
less. Our bargains are such be
cause of merit and at the very
minimum price.
People are often astonished
and ask why we undersell our
competitors. We answer: “Be
cause we underbuy.”
We have just received a letter
from our buyer in New York stat
ing he has closed a lot of clothing
at fifty cents on the dollar and a
lot of ladies’ cloaks and men’s
overcoats below manufacturers’
cost. This is the case in every
department. Then this tells +he
tale.
Gentlemen are buying real nice
all wool suits so cheap they are
ashamed to tell the price.
No wonder our store is crowd
ed from morningtiil night, six days
in the week, making one contin
ual carnival and bargain festival.
Overshadowing our competi
tors in glittering display and tow
ering above them in matchless low
prices unequalled in the history of
Gaffney makes ours the one store
everybody wants to trade at.
