To save these dollars, read.this advertisement carefully, remember, no matter how ridiculous the prices, they are not exaggerated; they are true, and backed by the fairest .1 guarantees..: When big Bill Hohenzoller turned his back on our boys "over there" and skiddoed to his neighbor's back yard, the cotton thiefs of Wall Street thought they could scare us by manipulating the cotton prices downward. But they failed, just as Bill failed to 8rare our boys, the result is that we have our cotton, the prices are climbing, and we are going to tell them a thing or two before we get through with them. In order to help our farmer friends to hold their cot ton and demand a full price for it, we have reduced our prices on every article in our THREE BIG STORES, and when you come to trade with us, ..your ..Liberty ?Bonds, War Savings Stamps and Warehouse Cotton Receipts are just as good as cash money. No discounts or rebates, no squeezing, you will get here 100 cents on every dollar of your securities with accrued interest in full to date, and we give you merchandise bought at the lowest mar ket prices and put on our counters at CUT PRICES.
