A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM
Griffin Mercantile Company
i THE BIG DEPARTMENT STORE ——^
Splendid Values is the Keynote of Our
NEW FALL STOCKS
Early last Spring we decided that our Fall Stocks should be bought
in advance of the season, so we instructed our buyers for the various
departments to buy, and
Buy Heavily
We predicted then that prices would advance greatly, and that de
liveries later would be uncertain, in which we were correct.
As a result of this foresightedness, and the efforts of our staff of ex- ,
perienced buyers, we now own and have on display ready for your in
spection an enormous stock of the most
Splendid Values
It has ever been our pleasure to present to the buying public. When
we say Splendid Values, we mean as well* Extraordinary and Superla
tive Values! If you live within 50 miles of Griffin it will pay you to
make a special trip to this store.
Come to Griffin & Spalding County’s Big Fair and make the Big Store headquarters.

Farmers in a rush.
Not many days since we were
entertained in a home where the
only child and son of adoption
had been away from home seven
years and is now “over there”
fighting for liberty.. The calm
ness and faith of this mother gave
us renewed courage to fight our
little battles. It was indeed a
profitable day for us, and on leav
ing we would liked to have em
braced her and told her how much
we loved her, but knowing that
actions speak louder than words
we refrained, knowing that she
would understand.
There is no such thing as travel
ing fast enough to overtake a lost
opportunity.
Too many people never recog
nize a good opportunity until they
have seen its back.
