NOT SINCE THE CIVIL WAR
Not since the Civil War in eighteen hundred and sixty-five has thfprice on cotton goods and other staple
domestips'been as high as the present price, and.the end does not seem to be in sight, and almost daily stiil soaring
higher. The shrewd and economical houskeeeper will readily see the wisdom of making preparations for the future,
by buying their fall and winter supplies and necessities early,Which seems now to be the best move that anyone
could do.
In the selection of yopr fall 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 Vve contracted for them, and it is our aim to sell theify
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 tihe
same goods on today’s market. ' . c.
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 anv competition, where Quality is taken into any consideration.
Your visit will be highly, appreciated, as we will take a real pleasure in showing you through our goods
and our prices, whether it is your intention to buy or not.
