We owe an apology to our patrons for being so late in making our
An iioiincement
?JiJj,JJSfJJJ

But the gentleman who has'charge of our advertising department has been so busy attending to other matters, that he
seems to have slightly neglected this very important branch of our business. While we are
beliehen in newspapers as a means of Jmaking known the good things you have to offer, our 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 ull 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
ita, or curiosity, would go into other stores, and after looking through to their entire satisfaction would return and make their bill with us, admitting frankly that we were offering
men to,
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 tho present season is the largest and best assorted we have ever carried, and had we space to
display it we could fill a store twi<& as large as,the one we now occupy, our duplicate stock being larger than what we have on exhibition on the tirst floor. All this we hope will be reme?
died after January 1st, when we move into our new store now being erected.
Hat
s.
We established a reputation in this
Hut). some years ago. that we have
been oonataatly adding to We sup
ply a good maoy dealers, who mnst
save money by buying from ua, or
?bey would aot do ao. Outside of
our regular line we bought
100 Dozen
From
a oommiaaion houae at about
60 eeuta on the dollar.
We have Men's aod Boy a for
Hale at 26 and 50 cents, aod the
Man's Hat we sell at 75c would
appear cheap, if bought elsewhere
for $125
Clothing.
Tbia baa always been a strong line
with uo, aod we can assure those
who have favored us with their pa
tronsge in this department formerly,
that we have never had a better line
to select from
Men's all wool' Cheviots, $5, $7 50
and $10.
Men's Fancy Worsteds, $5 $7 50,
$10 and $12
Men'a all wool Caasiroere, $5, $6,
$7 50, {10 aod $12 50
Men'a Clay Worsteds, in black and
colora, $5, $6, $7 50, $10, $12 & $15
BOYS' CLOTHING.
750 pairs
Boy's Knee Pants, worth 35c, 40c
and 50c at
26o per pair.
We bought the remnant of a man?
ufacturer's stock, the quactity seems
large, but the way they are going! 8Jc?as cheap as they were ever sold
they won't last long. | 50 pieces of Flannelettes at 8,\c?
250
Boy's Double Breasted Suits
at 75c and $1
These goods are worth 33J to 50 per
cent more. Oor line at
$1 50, $2, $2 50, $3 50 and $5
cannot be beaten.
tins is a very desirable fabric for
Waists and Wrappers, and is easily
worth 10 to 12^c
Dry Goods.
Here will be found as complete a
line of Staple and Domestic Goods
as the needs of any housekeeper de
raand
Our DOMESTICS were bought on
a basia of 7 cents cotton, and while
we did not think at the time that
cotton waa going to 10 ceuts wo in?
vested io
50.000 Yards
We have ,
100 pieces of Outings at 5, 6] and
60 Pairs Tar Heel
Blankets.
These are not in stock, but will be
by the time this reaches you, as they
are on the way You know what
they are, and no advance in price
We have a complete line of cheap
Blankets from 75c to $1.50.
A line of Comforts from 75c to $2
Oor stock.of Sheeting, Pillow cas
ihg, Table Damask, Doylies and
Napkins is complete and prices right
siloes.
If there is any one line in our house
belter than another we believe this
is it All our Shoes are bought
direct from manufacturers, and in
such quantities, as to warrant us in
getting Jobbers' prices, thereby sav?
ing the middle man's profit, and giv?
ing the benefit of it to our customers
If anything was needed to strengthen
this department, we have certainly
succeeded ?n doing so by the addi?
tion of the
BAY STATE LINE
and
E. P. REED & CO'S LINE
of Women's fine Shoes
This latter line is no stranger to
the ladies of Surater County, as we
handled them with a great deal of
pleasure and satisfaction up to a few
years ago, but for some reason, they
withdrew from this territory, aud wo
feel assured their old patrons wili be
pleaced to welcome them back
Reynolds', Bay State, E. P.
Reed & Co. and Godmau are
Hard to Beat.
In addition to these wo carry a
complete line of Men and Women's
staple .Shoes
S.
We hesitate to say how many of
these we bonght, as we might be
accused of varying from the path of
truthfulness, but we are safe io as?
serting not less than
250 Dozen
Just think of it! 3,000 SHIRTS..
You wonld naturally say, why do
you buy so many '! If you saw what
we are selling for
25 Cents
You would a6k no further question.
You cannot buy goods right unless
you buy quantities.
