TONGUE TANGLERS CERTAIN-
Ly WERE TANGLING TO
THE JUDGES. .
\iter wading through a deluge of
pswers to the Jawbreaker page print
ed in The News several weeks ago, a
decision has finally been reached by
the judges. .
The response to this page has been
extremely gratifying to The News and
io the advertisers on the Jawbreaker
pace. The answers came from far and
near, and so many that in the last Is
e we had to request that they cease.
The Jawbreakers were excellent, ev
ery one of them showed much work
and thought. We are sorry that we
haven't space to print them, but as
space is very limited this issue we
will have to be content to publish on
jy the names of the prize winners and
the ones that received special men
tion. The Jawbreakers will follow in
next week’s issue of The News. ‘

WORK BEGINS ON NEW
STORE OF ROBERTS & LARK
The Roberts & Lark building, which
has just been vacated by the City
National bank, will be made into an
up-to-date department store, Mr. W.
C. Fulford, of Columbus, having al
ready begun the work of remodeling.
The business of this firm has grown
to such proportions as to make neces
sary larger quarters, and they will be
constantly adding to their stock to
meet the demands of the trade. They
will move into the new store as soon
as it is possible to complete the rath
er extensive improvements planned.
To the People of Dawson
We can think of no more homely phrase in making our bow to the good people of
your city and section than the good old-fashioned “HOWDY.” Having said this
we want to extend a most cordial invitation to all the people of this vicimty to wisit
us upon the occasion of the opening of one of our branch stores on---
SATURDAY, JUNE 2nd
At 123 N. Main St.
We hardly feel that it is necessary to introduce ourselves to the
people of Dawson.
In Georgia we are successfully operating more than 200 retail
stores—over 100 in Atlanta and a little more than 100 mn other
towns and cities of the state. We maintain one of the largest ware
houses in the South, and own and conduct one of the largest and
most sanitary bread bakeries in the United: States. About 90 Puri
ty Markets are conducted in connection with our stores.
The L. W. Rogers Co. is strictly a Southern institution. While
its headquarters are in Atlanta, the men behind the organization—
and they are all young men and typically Southern—are deeply in
terested in the growth and development of the whole South. For
with the coming years, the Rogers’ establishment expects to develop
with—to grow with—and to spread all over these Southern States.
Our success in the past, the outlook for the future—our personal
ambitions to serve the people—all warrant us in saying so.
Sincerely, in advance, we can say we like your city. It is a city of splendid, generous, intelligent people. A city of elegant homes
and schools and churches. In such a place industrial and commercial institutions properly conducted are bound to thrive. We feel
that, in addition to whatever financial success we hope to make among you, that we would unquestionably be met with a cordial
welcome at your hands. We believe you possess that receptive feeling—that fair spint—for any individual, firm or corporatio® who
comes into your midst to render a legitimate business service for you. ’ !
The L. W. Rogers Company is coming into Dawson not only to reap its reasonable reward of financial success, but with the hope
—for the purpose—of rendering a real service to your people. Fortunately, we are large enough—strong enough—to purchase goods
in large quantities, which gives to us the advantage of lower prices to the trade on practically all food commodities.
But we are, likewise, strong enough to demand from those from whom we buy that they furnish us only quality goods. And we
are anxious right here in our first little newspaper talk to you, to im press upon you the all-important fact that only goods of the highest
quality are sold in Rogers’ stores. |
We are big enough—and wise enough—to know, too, that service must be added to quality, so we pride ourselves on the prompt,
courteous service always a feature at a Rogers store. _
The attractiveness of our store, our manner of doing business—-the regular low prices we ask for high quality goods—all will un
questionably help to make Dawson a great trading center.
So, while we hope for financial success we feel that it can come without detriment to anyone. We are always fair and honest and
“above board” in our dealings with competitors, just as we are with the trade. There is always room for such concerns in any live,
progressive COMMUNILY. oo tis: = ppep Wit | e 1 1o lot S 5 SRR Yol i oot ot 85w ino
We trust as the days go by to know you better—to enjoy a liberal share of your patronage. =©#
