Necessity Sale! No other name will do. we must sell a large amount of merchandise before September 10th. Will have no
room for summer goods. Now for the remedy! They will be pitched overboard. Our price, your piice, somebody’s price, or no
price, the summer goods must and shall go into new hands. It’s a necessity sale —inexorable fact, plain and simple, no escape nor
dodge. If at destruction prices, then let destruction come! THE GOODS MUST GO. As at the crossing of the Rubicon,

THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
"THE DIE IS OAST”
A man had a farm. He planted popcorn. He filled the barn with popcorn.
Barn caught fire. Corn to pop. It burst the barn and spread all over
the field. A near sighted cow thought the popcorn was snow and froze to
death. That cow made a mistake. The poor cow was near sighted. Hope
you are not near sighted. If you are your chances are still better than that of
the cow. You may put on the glasses of reason and know the difference be
tween popcorn and snow—-know the difference between an array of bargains
and an alignment of something else. Glad we have creatures of reason with
whom to deal. Think our chances are better on that account to make our
advantageous position as merchants understood.
We don’t ask so much faith of you as to have you believe a thing you know
isn’t so. But what is the truth, we are in a position to sell goods cheaper than
any merchant in this town. Our store is always filled with* bargains, and
there’s reason for i|. We buy more Dry Goods than every competitor in Rome
combined. Our prices proclaim over and over every day, the possibilities
arising from co-operative merchandising. Our stores in Atlanta, Griffin, Car
rollton and Milledgeville, (making purchases far beyond ordinary retail deal
ers possible), put goods on our Rome counters at lower prices than those at
which they could otherwise reach there. No disputing here. Granted that
competitors now and then bob down on the price of an article or two in our
list of bargains. “Imitation is the sincerest flattery”—a comfort if the im
itation were complete. But their lists stop much short of our pattern.
If you want goods at the lowest prices—goods from front to rear—from bot
tom to top—from all over the store, come to our-place forthem. Our stock
is largest and our prices are lowest always.
Forthenext few weeks ourpricces will be phenomenally low. Not
so much a question of price as a question of room for a large fall
stock soon to be bought.

You can make room for a few
pairs of the Shoes we own more

Supply your wants at the reduced
prices we shall make. It is safe to
say that there is no better make of
Shoes, nor lovelier style and finish
created in the land—from shore to
shore, from lakes to gulf—than that
of Krippendorf’s. Their high grade
Button Boots, made to be sold by
shoe stores at $5, we hold at only
$3.75.
Their fine Oxfords, made to retail
at $3.50, are priced by us at $2 75.
Others relatively as cheap. Patent
tipped Oxfords as low as 35c a pair.
