Our location is outside of the high rent district, and is still within a minute's walk of Five Points. This fact, together with the large volume of our business and our in variable practice of buying high grade, dependable merchandise for cash and selling it on the same basis enables us to quote prices that cannot Ibe duplicated by merchants paying higher rents, selling on credit or doing a smaller amount of business. \ ft tTwo shapes of the popular No Name Hat that we are fea turing at jLs} ifbJP HAT We will feature the well known and popular Piamilton-Brown Shoes, Stetson and No Name Hats, Spero-Michael Clothing, Black Cat Hosiery, and Cooper's Under wear.
