rapturously on such a scene of
beauty, such a brilliant display of
varigated color as we scarcely
ever witnessed before; and
I think that no spring flowers
or vivid green ever caused our
hearts to thrill more joyously. So
with life in the lovely spring
time of youth and middle-age of
summer, we are happy in learning
how to live. If we learn our les
son well old age, the autumn and
winter of life, shall be truly
crowned with glory. It is a pity

We want to announce to the people of McDonough and vicinity that we are now Io

times carry a full and complete line of Clothing, Hats, Haberdashery,
lor Men and Boys, Shoes and Underwear for the entire family.
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.
gar
We will feature the well known and popular Hamilton-Brown Shoes, Stetson and
No Name Hats, Spero-Michael Clothing, Black Cat Hosiery, and Cooper’s Under
wear.
Every one knows these brands and knows that they are honestly made, and when
properly priced they assure you of real value for your money.
We believe that the readers of The Weekly will appreciate a store conducted on the
lines we have determined shall prevail here. Low prices without quality is never
economical. But high prices do not necessarily guarantee quality. The safe way is
to trade with the firm that handles only standard brands— brands made only by man
ufacturers whose name on an article is the only guarantee it needs.
We hope that you will visit our store when in Atlanta. We will at all
times invite the closest comparison of goods and prices, and are confi
dent that such a comparison will show that no store in the South is of
fering better merchandise for the money.
