OLD PARTNERS
GETJTOGETHER
Messrs. John Eads and Joe
Neel Decide Not to Go
It Alone.
WILL JOIN THEIR FORCES
To Make One of the Greatest Cloth
ing Firms in the Country—Sur
prise for the Town.
The inevitable has happened and Eads
& Neel will no longer remain apart.
The announcement is made that the firm
will in future do business together at the
old stand on Cherry street.
The announcement that Eads & Neel
had divided the house and were to become
competitors - was a surprise to the whole
public, but the fact that they will go to
gether again will not be any surprise at
all.
Such a step has been looked upon as in
evitable. Both of the gentlemen were nec
essary one to the other.
They have always been warm personal
friends, and even when the competition
was the strongest they were to be found
together during their leisure hours.
Then again a combination of their tal
ents would of necessity benefit themselves
and the public generally.
The idea of competition between the two
was distasteful to them both, and when
that competition became closer, they deter
mined to end the division and join forces
again.
This will throw two of the finest clothing _
stocks in the South into one and will give
the people of the city an oportunity to
make their selection without feeling that
they’ are giving the prefernce to one
friend over the other.
'Messrs. Eads & 'Neel are receiving the
congratulations of their friends all over
the city today among those who know of
the proposed change, and when the an
nouncement is made public they will find
that they have done a very popular thing
Henceforth the firm of Eads, Neel & CO4
will flourish like a green bay tree, as it
did before, and their business will grow
and prosper even more than when each
■was pitted against the other.
The formal announcement of the re
making of the parnership will be made to
morrow.
What is Going
On in Society.
All who ride wheels know that there is
a law against using the sidewalk as a
bicycle path and in the city this law must
be 'remembered and kept under penalty of
arrest and fine. The reasons for this law
seem not to be understood however, for it
is the prevailing fashion to appropriate
the sidewalks in Vineville for the wheel,
notwitstanding the fact that Vineville is
thickly settled and consequently just as
much in need of a place where people .can
walk in safety as is any residence 'portion
of Macon. Every day there is serious dan
ger from this practice, and the danger is
about evenly divided for those who are
walking and for the riders thcmeslves.
The pedestrian narrowly escapes being
run over by the wheel, and the rider fre
quently’ does not escape collision with an
other wheel or being passively attacked
by an open gate. This last danger ij
greater at night, for you must know that
this charming suburb is not so brilliantly
light; d as are the streets of New A’ork,
and that to leave gates open is the rule
not the exception. So it will be better
for all concerned for the wheels to keep
their place in the road in Vineville as
strictly as is required in Macon.

“THE SHOE BROKERS.”
FIREANDWATER
Have done for the wearers of shoes in this
city and section what all the tariff tinkers
and all the improved machinery on earth
could not do.
WHEN? Now, Monday. The sale is on and will con
tinue until the last shoe in the stock is disposed of. All '
this must be done within thirty days from date. Not a pair
must remain after July 4.
This Is no Ordinary Fife Sale; II Is Simply a Sacrifice of De
sirable Goods at Fire Prices,
One of the peculiarities of trade is that fire always injures the selling value of a stock of goods, no matter how
little damaged the stock may be. The public has its prejudices, and to argue the question is a mere waste of time. Bet
ter accept the inevitable and sell at half price rather than to try to convince the customer that such and such an article is
not damaged. Nor do we claim that the immense stock here referred to was in no wise damaged. We confess that it
was. We propose to be perfectly frank about it.

As near as we can estimate, about five
(5) per 'eent of the Rochester’s stock was
scorched by fire, some so much that they
are practically worthless, so have been
thrown away. Others of this lot, however,
were only slightly damaged, perhaps we
should say merely blistered by the fire, and
there is a 'good deal of wear in some of
these. We shall not attempt to put a price
on any o‘s this lot. If you can get a fit
among them, why we won’t quarrel over
the price.
'About 25 per cent, of the stock has been
wet, causing, perhaps slight discolorations
in the lining, but otherwise leaving the
shoe as good as ever—tfor the shoe that
can be ruined by one wetting Is not worth
having. Most shoes get wet sooner or
later anyway, you know, but you continue
to wear them and they look a's well as
ever. So if you are not particular as to
who wet them first, here is a chance for
you to pick up two or three pairs for the
price of one.
EDWIN C. BURT’S SHOES.
The world knows no higher standard in Ladies’ Fine Shoes than Edkvard C.
Burt's goods. “Burt’s” means “<best” in Ladies’ Shoe’s. They sell everywhere from
$3 to $6. No other manufacturer of Ladies’ shoes can get as good a price for his goods
as Burt. !Nor is the price out of keeping with the value., die gets it simply because
Burt’s Shoes are the standards of fit, style, durability, ease, quality. Think of such
shoes, without a scratch or a iblemish on them, going for $2.00 and $3.50. Then you
will grasp the idea off what this Fire Sale is to mean—the part it is to play in the
shoe history of ’Maicon.
We don’t mind admitting that we, too, made a good investment when
we picked up the Rochester’s stock at the price we paid==for it is not dam=
aged anything like as much as all thought it to be at the time==but this is
all the more in the public’s favor; it will simply enable us to make a still
larger division to drop the price in proportion to the snug difference in what
we got and what we expected to get.
Now please hear in mind that we don’t
propose to do much more talking about
this sale. We feel that the mere an
nouncement of this extraordinary oppor
tunity to buy shoes at half price and even
•less, ought to be sufficient, especially at
a time like the present.
THIS IS OUR OFFER.
IT IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
WE ARE GLAD TO BE ABLE
TO MAKE IT.
YOU SHOULD BE GLAD TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. I
E. B. HARRIS,
Purchaser of the Rochester Shoe Company’s Stock,
519 Cherry Street.
iThey have placed within the reach
of even the poorest.
Over $20,000 worth of shoes at much
less than manufacturers’ cost.
As for ourselves we state candidly
that we wouldn’t give 50 cents a pair
for the difference. Yet we are forced
Ito allow you a large difference. The
same shoes—the same maker’s name,
same style, same leather==that we
shall ask only $1.25 and $2.50 for cost
I
you $5 aud $6 before they were wet.
Not that the water has hurt these
shoes, but have merely tainted them
with suspicion. It’s all an idea, but
we must bow before it.
Now get the facts and the figures clearly fixed in your mind, then come
Monday and Verify every statement To be more explicit let’s recapitulate:
Five per cent 4 smoked or scorched. At your own price if you want them.
There's good wear in many of them.
Twenty per cent, wet by the firemen. ’Have fbeen dried and, like any other shoe
that has been wet. are as good aS ever, ex cept In looks. These go at One-Third
I
Price. Worth practically as much as ever. .
Seventy-Five Per Cent absolutely un touched by fire, smoke or water. Were j
entirely removed from the exact scene of the conflagration. Packed away, as they
were in the front shelves, they did not even know the fire was in progress. Look
at them and you can’t tell they were ever ever near a fire. We guarantee them to
be as good and desirable as ever. These go at about Half Price. Their former
value ranged from $1.50 to $6. Divide this by two and find the Fire Price.

A REGULAR TIDAL
Waveof Bargains
IN FOOTWEAR.
WHERE? At the old stand—the Rochester Shoe
Company’s place, 519 Cheny st. The store has been tern’
porarily repaired and everything arranged for the accommo
dation of customers, with a force of salesmen sufficient to
handle the multitudes that will inevitably flock there.
JOHNSON & MURPHY
Bear in the manufacture of Men’s Fine Shoes a reputation similar to that of Burt.
Their shoes are also the standard in men’s wear. They make two kinds and these
'bring $5 and st> anywhere in this country. But we will have to let them go at $2.50
to SI.OO. Two pairs almost for the price of one. Men of Macon, take our advice
and supply your needs for the next year to come. You probably won’t get an
other such opportunity in a long while. You can make from 50 to 100 per cent, on
the investment. And such opportunities are rare these days.
HOW? WHEH? WHERE?
How? 'By enabling us to purchase from
the Insurance adjusters the entire stock
of the Rochester Shoe Company at a price
that will enable us to practically control
the shoe trade of iMacon for a time.
, We have frankly stated that about 25 per
cent of the stock is damaged; with equal
honesty we can say that ,ne other 75 per
cent is not —and, yet, it too, is tainted with
suspicion. So what’s the use arguing.
Though every shoe in this lot is as good
and desirable as ever it was, we cannot get
I the regular price for It if we talked all
summer. Not a thing the matter with any
of them except that they had the misfor
tune to be under a burning roof. But this
, is enough—they won’t'bring more than half
the old price. No use- to ask it —the pub
lic expects to get a benefit out Os such mis
fortunes.
'And so It shall. We have marked $5 and
$0 shoes down to $2.00 to $4.00, and all
others in proportion. No reason for it ex
cept that the public expects the fire price.
’ You would pay double the price for the
same shoes in exactly the same condition
elsewhere.
It is manifestly impossible to name
prices on everything in stock, though here
are a couple of pointers that we think will
give you the correct idea. And bear in
mind that everything else is in keeping so
far as price is concerned:
What we had to say we've said at once,
so 'that all may understand the exact
meaning and rare attractiveness of this
sale. We have been plain, frank, full and
to the point in our explanation. We be
lieve this is all that should be necesary.

HIGH AND LOW, RICH
AND POOR. A CORDIAL
