Don't be in too big a hurry about
that new Overcoat—Better take
plenty of time to look around and
be sure you're getting the best!
Above all don't buy one any
where until, you see the magnifi
cent garments we are selling at
$15, $18, $20, $25.00 and up.
Better than Custom-made; more
style than even “crack” tailors
give—(and- a far better fit)—al
together a coat that toill become
you and that you’ll be proud to
wear—anywhere.
This week we offer some genuine
beauties in the style shown above,
one of Schloss’ best designs and
already the hit of the seaso'n in
New York—at $18.00. Easily
worth $25.00, and sold for that
in every other store, this week at

and said that he had jnst seen that
the Alabama legislature had passed
,the prohibition measure by a large
majority, and that he moved that
tbe Baptist Convention of Georgia

gratulate them. "But,” he said,
"this is a Baptist convention, and
as Baptists we have nothing to do
with politics.”
