What We Have Done, With Your Help Some eight or nine years ago we opened our doors to the New nan public in a store-room 18x66 feet. We had only about $500 to nut into business, but believed we knew what the people wanted; we knew we were capable of serv ing them properly and promptly; so we began. Since then our every aim has been to give the people their full money's worth to give them the best drug store we are capable of conducting to make the place attractive. To-day we are occupying some thing over 60,000 square feet of lloor space, operate our own elec tric light plant, our own machin ery for manufacturing ice cream, etc., and are paying taxes on more property than any other drug store in Coweta county. » We have always stood for prog ress, and the pace we have set has been hard to follow. New nan now has the best drug stores of any city of its size in the State. We are largely responsible for it. It is with a reasonable amount of pride that we call attention to these facts. We thank you for the patron age which has made this possible. HOLT & CATES CO. NEWNAN, GA. r Texas Markets First Bale.
