HEADQUARTERS
FOR FURNITURE
NO, lam not surprised at everything
being HIGH this fall, in fact, I looked
for it in the spring and HEDGED, so
to speak. The general conditions on
every side was bound to warrant high
cotton, high steel, high glass, and, of
course the prosperous conditions thru
out the South necessarily makes things
cost more.
BUT, we STOCKED up very heavy last fall and early
this spring, hence can sell and DO SELL some medium fur
niture cheaper than we can buy on today’s prices, simply on
account of having bought before the FIRST advance, audit’s
GOING HIGHER.
SO take advantage of some of this 19c cotton and you
will be absolutely shocked at the amount of Furniture you
can buy for just ONE bale of cotton, and you know Furni
ture is a thing you don’t have to buy but ONCE in a life
time, (If you get good stuff).
So be wise and don’t hope to get high grades at low
prices. Don’t put your money into so-called ‘‘cheap” Furni
ture. Don’t expect to be able to find a store that can surpass
us in value-giving. Don’t think that by buying from out
of town people you can get more for your money.
YOU CAN’T.
Don’t forget to call and see us
