p, • u Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31st, 1898-
Dear Mr. Hardy:—
p ( ease sav to the people in Barnesville that lam up
here buying groceries for the fall. The dry goods men
went to New York to buy their tall stock, but since l sell
on so much shorter profit than any one else, I can’t af
ford to take such an expensive trip. I walked up here
yesterday and brought a biscuit in my pocket, so l have
no hotel and railroad bill fare for my customers to pay.
I will still be able to undersell my competitors, for l am
getting some of the biggest bargains you ever heard of.
Am having a big time, too. Went around and look
ed in at the window of a swell entertainment last night.
Will be back by Sept. Ist, and will need all the money I
can get, as these goods are bought on cash basis, and 1
will have to pay for them at once. If any of your read
ers owe me anything, ask them to please call and pay at
once. Yours truly,
Jno. T. MIDDLEBROOKS.

New Warehouse
-3* Free Weighing!
For four years we have contended with our warehousemen 1
that FIFTY CENTS is too much to charge a planter for handlihg
a bale of cotton. Now that cotton has reached a basis, we
know it is too much. We have arranged to put up at once an
office, scales and platform on the vacant lot fronting Forsyth street
between the fire engine house and Summers' buggy factory, and
will handle cotton
. . FREE TO THE PLANTER. . .
The 25 cents which we shall charge for shipping will amply
repay us for our work and trouble. We offer to every patron of
our warehouse our
PERSONAL GUARANTEE
that his cotton will bring the highest market price every day in the
season. We carnot afford to insure your cotton and as our room
is limited we only solicit the cotton that will be sold within a week
at least after being weighed.
Mr. J, T. Blalock will be associated with us in the enterprise
and will have charge of the warehouse. We want to weigh 5,000
bales. Figure the amount you can save in a season at our ware
house and bring us your cotton. Yours very truly,
J. W. STAFFORD & SONS.
P, S, Our two buyers, Messrs. W. C. and F. M. Stafford,
are this week in New York to make our fall purchases, In
spite of Five-cent cotton we sell worlds of goods, These men know
how and where to buy them, Of course we can save you money,
so kindly keep us in mind when you are ready for your fall bill,
Mi-Dill
is a childest game in which some
article is hidden, and the young
ster that does the hiding chal
lenges his play mates to find it.
There’s a great many people
now-a-days playing handy dan
dy in a somewhat different
sense. Some merchants play
handy-dandy, wherein they cut
the price of some standard
article—even selling at or be
low cost —and the handy-dandy
come into play on their custo
mers in that they make the dif
ference hack, and more too, on
the purchase of some other arti
cle. But, we remember the old
saying: “We’ll call no name
and bear no blame ” Common
sense teaches you, yours and
“yourn,” that a merchant sel
ling goods at cost, is going out
of business, and whether he
knows it or not, the sheriff will
apprise him sooner or later of
this fact. All successful mer
chants make a profit on their
goods, and you ought to know
it. We close by telling you to
keep one eye on the merchant
that sells at cost, and add that
we have just received a fresh
supply of Pansy flour, and it’s
pure to a caution.
