WHAT THEY SAY AND THINK About Our Store It shows up well. It’s a big thing for Jackson, beats anything here by a long way. These mod ern ideas and conveniences you have are appreciated by the pub lic. I mean the steam heat, toi let, private phone exchange, la dies’ rest room, etc. You have got plenty of light and room, too. A. H. Ogletree. This is a nic- place. It looks like Atlanta. I did not expect to find such an arrangement and display of goods. I see that you carry almost anything a manor woman wants. You don’t have to run all over town. I like it. J. T. Hardy. C)t course we all think this is the biggest store in this part of the country, and also the best ar ranged, A. M. Watkins. My first trip upstairs. Nice sure. Albert Maddox. I never saw* a nicer arrange ment anywhere. It’s beautiful. Dublin Ga. has just finished a nice store something like it. Prof. W. R. Lanier. You certainly have a handsome store. Nice very nice Ihdeed. Dr. W. N. AinSWOrth. I have never had a chance to see the stores of the country fur ther than Macon or Atlanta, but this is the best arranged and nicest kept store I ever saw. C. J. Tompkins. N H. Greer. —“Pretty well fixed, Takes a good many clerks. Don’t it?” R. N. E. -“Yes, our trade re quires a lot of clerks.” N. H. Greer,—-“I never expect ed to see this size store in Jack son.” Etheridge, Smith & Cos. Jackson ... Georgia. If it's in town, we’ve got it. If you get it here; it's right. THE BIG STORE SELLS EVERYTHING CHEAPER BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS, JACKSON, GA- FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911. These are only a few of the many congratulatory remarks of our friends verbatim. J. T. Walker of the Great Eas tern Oil and Paint Cos., Cleveland Ohio, remarked when shown through the store that it was the swellest thing he ever saw—ab solutely no room for improve ment in architecture or arrange ment of everything. The New York Store is the stuff. A. F. Tavlor. I don’t know much about a mercantile business, but this is the nicest arranged store I ever saw and you can see the goods and get almost anything you want, T. Walter Moore. If there is anything in this county like it I have not seen it. It looks very much like Atlanta stores. How many clerks have you?ans. 45 before Xmas, we have a few less now. The goods are out where they can be seen and you have plenty of light. A. J. McElroy. Looks nice up here big improve ment, begin to look like city. I have not seen the store since last summer, Mrs. J. C. Cawthorn. Mrs. H. L. Gray says: Very different from the old store, plenty of light. Room and chairs to sit in when tired si o iping. The New York Store is simply 20 years ahead of anything in this section. You willfind them to be thoroughly up-to-the-times and accommodating. W. B. Hodges. I would like to see the second floor of your store but haven t time to go up there. But what I see from here is beautiful. I have heard Mr. Joyner say that it certainly was a credit to Jackson. Mrs. J. A. Joyner. This, like stores in many other points, are carrying lines suf ficent to meet the demands of the people and doing away with so much going off to the large cities, which is expensive and requires time and trouble to do. Goods can be bought in these smaller points at 25 per cent less than they can in larger cities for the reason that expenses are much less. I find it so from act ual experience. F. R. Durden, Savannah, Ga. I have never seen anything to equal your store in a town like Jackson. It would be a credit to a city of 20,000 or more and the town and county should feel proud of your enterprising firm. J. W. Wells. St. Louis Mo. Representing Paul Jail Cos. Your store is as pretty as I ever saw. I have never seen anything that will come up to it. Your display is particularly fine. The goods are out where they can be seen and they remind you of things you might other wise forget. J. R. Hammond. The New York Store certainly is fine. It is a pleasure to shop here plenty of room and light. Well ventilated well heated, a complete stock to select from. Very few Whitehall St. stores as good. Miss Alice Thompson, Flovilla Ga. It is easy to buy when you have plenty of room, light and goods well displayed as you have them. J. D. Brownlee. The New York Store is all right It’s up to date in every respect. Van M. White. This is the finest place I was ever in. The system is perfect and anybody who would grumble at this should be put in the pen itentiary. S. Frank Smith. Nice, nice certainly is conven ient. You have your stuff where people can see. More light and room than in the usual store. L. L. Colwell. It’s nice. Hard to beat, well arranged. There are but few in the cities to compare with it. W. M. Andrews. The New York Store is all right or I would have quit you long ago. I have never seen any thing that shows up like it. It is sufficient for many years to come. That ladies’ rest room is a great thing. J. E. Hale. I have been upstairs several times and it is mighty nice. These people have always treat ed me right. It is certainly an improvement over what it used to be. H. L. Gray. An old ante-bellum darkey in talking to Mr. Gibson, says:— “Ugh! Ugh! Boss, don’t you ’spect this zembles Hebben some.” It’s just as nice as can be. It is in a class to itself. Nothing like it in this town. W. A. White. Well arranged. The most modern of any store building I know of in a town of this size. Rev. Arthur Jackson. The best appointed and best arranged store I have ever seen? out of Atlanta. I like modem ideas and conveniences such a you have here. Rey. R. C. Cleckler.
