Georgia*s Largest Mercantile House—The Dannenberg Co.
pOR nearly half a century the
r name “Dannenberg Co.”
has stood for good quality of
merchandise at lowest possi
ble cost to the customer.
The Busy Big Store doing
the largest business and hand
ling the enormous amount of
merchandise that it does—
more than any other Georgia
concern—is naturally wanted
on the list of buyers of all
producers and dealers thro’
out the world ^
Buying in quantities which
probably treble that of any
other house in this section
permits the going direct to
these manufacturers with the
cash, which they don’t like to
refuse, and purchasing in lots
obtaining prices not accorded
to regular dealers.
Thus a great saving results
in price > and difference in
freight rates of larger quan
tities over small finally result
ing in attractive savings to a
rapidly growing clientele of
satisfied customers through
out Georgia and near states.
Great Sales Are Being Conducted in Every Department During the State Fair. You Know the Store-
Don't Let Anything Detain You From Coming Direct Here For Your Savings-They’re Certainly Great!

WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 31.—
The recent threat of President P, M.
Sharpies, of the Sharpies Separator
Works, of West Chester, to close down
his plant In the event of Bryan's elec

fully inconsistent counterpart in an in

Sharpies could have done so effective

to kill off politically before tho crisis

how his action was execrated from the
Aflnntic to the Pacific, as a species of
