Great Land Slide!
This expresses the business
we are doing—now for un
varnished cold facts.
We have the greatest stock of
goods in middle Georgia. Every
thing dazzles with newness and
beauty. Good style pervades the
the very air that floats in our store
rooms. To sum the whole thing
up the ponular song is “go to
Marshburn’s to buy your goods.
Even the birds are chiming this
good advice. Every vacuum in
every department is filled—hence
no desire is too great to be satis
fied in any line of wearing apparel.
This is saying a great deal when
we realize that we are doing busi
ness in the midst of people who
are better posted as to style and
good taste than any other point in
the state. We are leading in
Clothing, shoes, hats, dress goods,
and millinery. Coupons given
with every cash purchase. Com
petent, affable help to wait on you.
These are points worth remember
ing.
S. M. MARSHBURN.
