A Word That Accurately Describes
The Policy of Hofmayer, Jones & Co,
marked the past year in Albany. Her paved streets, her big new manufacturing plants, her handsome
new business buildings, and her elegant new homes all tell unmistakably of what great progress the
city has made.

In Albany’s leading store “progressiveness” has also been the watch word during the past year.
Equally as apparent as the city’s remarkable growth are the wonderful strides this store has made dur
ing the past twelve months.
In every department, in the size and the elegance of the stocks, and in the management of the store
there has been progress—a progress that makes the service of this store more and more satisfactory to
its customers. We have labored earnestly, untiringly to make this- a modern department store—big, re
liable, progressive—a store where the satisfying size and exceptional elegance of its stocks, coupled with recog
nized reasorjablness of its prices, entitle it to the best trade of the best people of the best section of the South.

Ran to Storm Cellars.
The fact that so few were killed is
accounted for by the fact that every
house was practically equipped witn a
storm cellar and the people ran to
them as soon as they saw the tornado
approaching. Those who had no storm
cellars or who could not reach them
were the ones who suffered.

If You*re Wise
It's Not to the “Tall Timbers
The hours of the Carnegie library,
as most people know, are 8:30 to
11:30, and 3 to 6:30. It Ib not open at
all at night This Is rather hard on
the business men of the city. The
hours when the library Is open are
also their open hours. At night when
there might he a chance to read, the
library is closed. Even getting a book
out is a difficult thing to do, the way
the hours are now.
That you’ll look for building material. Albany
- Pressed Stone Co.’s double-hollow air space concrete
v.blocks are mere satisfactory from every standpoint.
