The Best Wheat Only Used.
A bull or bear market has noth
ing to do with the selection of the
wheat from wnich Bransford’s
“Clifton” Hour is made. It re
quires the best wheat to keep the
flour up to its standard, and it is
bought regardless of the price.
The reputation of “Clifton” flour
has been gained by fifteen, years of
uniform excellence. — MarlcEy
Trading Co.
Mr. J. C. Shadburn, mayor of
Beau ford, Ga., and brother-in-law
of Dr. W. C. Bryan, with iiis
wife, who has been here for two
weeks, or more, left for home last
Monday marning, via Montezuma.
We shall be glad to see him in
Douglas again.
There’s No Particular Secret-
About making flour and yet
given the same mill, same machin
ery and same wheat, no two mill
ers will make flour exactly alike.
Besides the techinal skill there’s a
“knack” in making flour and
Bransford’s miller has it 4 to an ex
ceptional degree. That’s one rea
son why “Clifton” proves so dis
tressingly popular that wherever it
is sold, competitors are obliged to
recognize it as a standard and offer
their flour as “just as good.”

Whenever you leave an order
