NOT SINCE THE CIVIL WAR
Not since the Civil War in eighteen hundred and sixty-five has the price on cotton goods and other staple
domestics been as high as the present price, and the end does not seem, to be in sight, and almost daily still soaring
higher. The shrewd and economical houskeeeper will readily see the/tfrisdom of making preparations for the future,
by buying their fall and winter sujiplies and necessities early, which seems now to be the best move that anyonej
could do. j
In the selection of your faU outfit and - supplies, Merchandise of Quality and Merit, should be the first
thought and aim of everyone and the second aim should be to obtain the Best Quality at as low a price as is possible.
Early in the year we placed heavy contracts with some big and reliable mills, who have lived up to their
contracts and delivered us the goods, and at the same price as we contracted for them, and it is our aim to sell them
on the same basis as they were at the time when we bought them, and not on a basis of what they are asking for the
same goods on today’s market./ / . . . , / ,
Add to the above the fact that we are selling goods strictly on a cash basis, puts us in position, to sell you
goods as cheap or cheaper than most any competition, where Quality is taken into any consideration.
Your visit will be highly appreciated, as we will take a real pleasure in showing y6u through
and our prices, whether it is your intention to buy or not.
