In announcing the arrival and display of our stock of New Fall Merchandise we feel that it is
unusually appropriate for us to emphasize the Quality of the goods assembled*
We believe that a store like this owes something to the public beyond the mere gathering and
selling of merchandise —that it has no business selling poor goods, no matter whether the buyer has
discerning judgment or not*
We believe it is the duty of a store to make sure its goods are
wor’hy before they reach its counters, and that they answer every
test of excellence and trustworthiness to which a strict business
policy subjects them. Perhaps in all the yeais that we have been in
business we have carried this policy to the extreme by measuring
every article we sell by the severe test of Quality. Quality is the
guiding spirit of this store. Quality first, quality last, quality at all
times. Quality is the keynote of our stocks —that honest, dependable
quality that carries with it the assurance of lasting satisfaction. If
we elect to speak of Quality it is simply because quality is
the Chief Manifestation of Economy and Value.
What does Quality mean to You when goods are talked of?
Quality! Quality of materials and of making. Quality in the raw
materials, quality in the finished goods, quality in the designs, quality
in the styles, quality so uniform and complete that fabrics, designs
and workmanship appear to be the perfection of a single process
rather than the miracle of many.

No good thing will the Lord
withhold from his children. We
are almost persuaded that the
best wine is being kept back for
the last. Every year of our life
has sweeter memories than the
one past. We were permitted to
visit camp meeting two days and
mingle with some of the best
people in the world and enjoy
some of the best preaching we
ever heard. Our heart is running
over with thankfulness and glad
ness that the Lord has blessed us
with so many nice friends and
allowed us <% to make this visit,
which we had planned so long,
and will do us good to remember
as long as life shall last, and
especially do we appreciate the
nice things said to us about our
Griffin correspondent. We have
taken on, it seems, a stronger hold
and will endeavor to do better in
every respect in the future and
may we meet many more years at
Shingleroof and clasp hands in
tokens of love and friendship.
When we had turned our steps
homeward Thursday afternoon we
were anxious to get home to those
we love. This thought was in our
mind: That when our time is out
here, will we be that anxious to go
to our eternal home. Wouldn’t it
be a delightful going home? Mav
the Lord help us to trust Him to
the end.
And last but not least was our
trip to Timberridge Sunday last.
We were met at the train by our
clever and genial friend, Mr. Eddie
Taylor, in his Ford. In less time
than it takes to tell it we were
being royally entertained at his
home by his little wife, whom we
were sorry to find not well. His
four little boys are so manly that
These things are carried to ths extreme here. Our selections
are made with the greatest care. We search below the surface,
looking for weakness and defects. We disregard every article that
we believe would in any way prove unworthy when placed to the
test of actual use.
We know that our care is appreciated by our friends —the buy
ing pubhc. We know that people everywhere have learned that
buying here is SAFE ; that they can depend on whatever comes from
this store, and that our standard of quality means something. Where
quality is, satisfaction is, and that is tiie piace to spend your money.
And while we do not wish to dismiss the question of price lightlv—
for prices here are always consistent with the qualities offered —yet
we wish to emphasize that our last word, as well as the first, on
goods purchased here must be Quality.
We extend to the readers of this paper and the public generally
a very cordial invitation to call at the earliest convenient time and
view this vast assemblage of Quality Merchandise.
one feels that they are with grown
ups when talking to them. His
mother was also present to add to
our pleasure. After a few minutes
rest and a cool drink of water we
then went to the church where
we heard one of the best sermons
ever delivered at Timberridge,
Rev. M. C. Liddell being the speak
er. Six infants were baptized and
three members added to the
church. After the service the
little Ford soon carried us back
home where we were invited to
the dining room and served a
bountiful dinner. Our time being
limited, we had to leave early and
see our dear friends grandma and
Aunt Jane at the home of Mr.
J. J. Knight, whom we found in
good health for their ages. After
an hour or so spent in pleasant
conversation we had to say good
bye—maybe the last time or it
may not be—who knows? But
one thing we do know, it will be
pleasant to think about as long as
life shall last.
Our next stop was at Mrs. Sher
man Kelly’s, whom we had not
seen in twelve years. We were
so glad to find her able to be up
but sorry we could not stay sever
al hours and listen to her tales of
Jesus and His love. May she live
many more years to bless her
home with her presence.
So here we are, sitting alone on
our porch Monday afternoon.
Some would imagine sad and
lonely, but not so. We are
strengthened beyond measure by
our visit and hope some sweet day
to come again. ONE TWO.
