of yellow and purple against the
softly-toned walls, lent a note of
contrasting color.
The dining table had for its cen
tral decorations a lovely silver can
delabra, holding yellow burning ta
pers around which was banked quan
tities of johnquils and violets.

Announcement
We wish to announce that we have leased the
Bush-Griffeth building near the Farmers Bank for the
following business—
Automobile*
We will have on display here the famous Overland
and Willys-Knight Cars. We wish to say here that the
Willys Overland Cos. of Toledo, does the largest busi
ness of any automobile builders in the world. Their
factory in Toledo has the facilities for producing 1000
motor cars per day and the 1916 output will have a
value of one hundred million dollars. The remark
ably low prices of Model 75 for s6ls—Model 83 for
$695--Model 84 for $1125-Model 86 for $1145 f. o. b.
Toledo are made possible only thru a combination of
circumstances which have placed the Overland Cos.
in a position where they can offer a better car for less
money than any other concern in the industry. This
is due to the foresight and keen business acumen of
Mr. Willys, the President. The materials used in the
OVERLAND cars this year were bought before the
war sent prices soaring. To gain some idea of these
savings, the Company has been able to save three and
one half million dollars on aluminum alone, while the
savings on steel and many other raw materials are in
proportion. We have a car load on the way and we
invite you to call for a demonstration.
Groceries
In the rear of the building we will carry a stock of
up-to-date groceries which we expect to buy and sell
for cash only. By doing so we will be in position to
save you money on your groceries.
t
Produce
“We Pay Cash for Country Produce” and expect to
furnish you a cash market for all you produce, includ
ing corn, peas, sorghum, chickens and eggs, in fact
everything you grow on your farm. Thru your
co-operation we expect to build up a cash market that
cannot be excelled anywhere. We will appreciate
your business.
Fertilizers
Mr. G. W. Summerour has renewed his contract
with the Virginia Carolina Chemical Cos. for the en
suing year. This is an old reliable Company and their
goods cannot be surpassed. Mr. Summerour appreci
ates your patronage in the past and trust that he will
be favored with same in the future.
Yours for Straight Honest Dealing
Sxxmmevowe Titos.
