WHO HIT BILLY PATTERSON? WHO TIED THE DOG LOOSE? These are questions that do not concern the trading public; they don’t care a snap who hit Billy nor who turned the dog loose. But there is a question that should concern every man, woman and child, and that is, where to spend their money to the best advantage. Straws show which way the wind blows, and the numerous packages we send out show that the trading public are beginning to realize where to get their money’s worth. It is not a question how much we can get for an article, but how cheap we can sell it. O f f X li o M Owing to the tremendous trade we have had, our buyer has been forced to go to the Northern and Eastern markets again, and the patrons of THE BATTERY may expect some phenomenal bargains. Just received a large shipment of shoes. Our motto is, underbuy and undersell. One price to all and your money back when you want it. r THE IJAllIK Y T The Cheapest Siere in The Stale. J. C.
