AN
IMMENSE
ARRAY
OF
FALL
AND WINTER MERCHANDISE
= HERE FOR YOUR INSPECTION '
Every business house in the State has made extensive
preparation* for the Fall's ?trade Their calculations
were based upon a large crop at very nattering prices,
both of which promised well when their buyers were
in market, aod a glance through the stores of Sun ter
will prove that this progressive city of ours is no ex?
ception to the rule, for every house seems to be taxed
to the limit of its capacity.
We learne 1 long ago that you could not sell goods
uiless you had them, and it seldom happens that a
person comes in our stores that we cannot supply his
wiints for our stock is always full, but were we to use
the express ion,
"FULL TO OVERFLOWING,"
we would only be conveying a faint idea of
\ The Enormous Stock of Merchandise
that is contained within the four walls of our building
We did not wait to see what the cotton crop was go
? ing to do, as a large percentage of our conti acts for
this Fall's merchandise were placed before there was a
seed planted, and it is fortunate for those who patronize
us so liberally that we did, as it enables us to sell them
geods much less than we could otherwise do, as we
give our customers the advantage.

It is a little e*rly jn the season to discuss such a
warm s ibje t, i l fac: it is hardly necessary ibr us to
mention this artie'e for
"OUR TAR HEEL"
is a household w.)id not only in this but adjoining
counties, and e e ybody knows .when they want the
best fv>r their T.oney, they will not be satisfied with
any othe*, and the most interesting part of it is, we

the old prices.
It is not necessary to tell you what this is, as it is
well known.
GINGHAMS.
We had a ca?e of these in 10 to 23-yard length?.

plete and our p. ices right,
