COOL
HAMMOCKS
FOR SIMMER***
With the weather as hot
as it is now, anything that
adds to comfort rises to
the dignity of a necessity.
It is so with Hammocks.
Hammocks are cool and 1
comfortable, and there is
not a home in Newnan 1
that has a spot of shade,
that should be without one
of these necessities.
Hammocks are cheap,
too, at this store. Any
body can afford one. The
reason why they are cheap
is a simple one: We
bought this year’s stock
direct from the manufac
turer, instead of buying
through a jobber, and wei
save YOU the jobber’s
i profit.
More Hammocks than
usual had to be bought in/
order to secure the low
price, but the increased-
number only makes the
stock more ccmpl<5te,‘and
the chances of stilting 1
your tastes more sure.
Come and look at these
goods. They are worth
examining, even if you
don’t care to buy.
