seems to have slightly neglected this very important branch of our business While we are
Firm believer* in newspapers as a means of making known the good things you have to offer, o*ir experience is, that the people with whom you have been dealing and who have always gotten
ONE HUNDRED CENTS WORTH
For every dollar they gave you are the best advertisers.
This we have proven beyond all doubt during the past month, in which our business has been the largest ever recorded in September. Some of our friends attracted by newspaper advertise?

BETTER VALUES THAN OUR COMPETITORS.
It takes years to build a reputation of this character and we feel very proud of it. Our stock for the present season is the largest and best assorted we have ever carried, and had we space to
display it, we could (ill a store twice as large as tbe one we now occupy, our duplicate stock being larger than what we have on exhibition on the first floor. All this we hope will be reme?

In addition to these we carry a

ter, as follows:
"Since tbe cotton orop io many sec?

"It is true that it would seem a hard
