FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1914
“Mail Orders Promptly Filled”
GOING THROUGH THE BIG STORE.
BY ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS
DEAR MOTHER:
1 was so sorry that 1 was
not at home Saturday when
father came.
I went to Newnan on the
early morning train; arrived
there at 6:40. I went right up
to Stripling’s store to get a few
of the special things they had
on sale for Saturday and Mon
day, but after I had spent
awhile looking through the
stoic 1 found everything priced
so cheap that they all looked
like specials to me.
A very nice young man
waited on me. He seemed to
take great pleasure in showing
me everything in the store.
We started right at the front
door in the wool dress goods
department. I have never seen
so many pretty woolens as that
young man showed me; all-
wool serges 36 and 42 inches
wide, in every color you could
imagine, at only 50c per yard.
And pretty wool crepes in all
the new colors for fall, 36 inches
wide, at 50c. He also has a 56-
inch repellant in navy, grey
and black at 50c per yard.
And his line of fine woolens at
75c and $1 a yard includes all
the new woolen fabrics and col
ors of the season.
Next he showed me the pret
tiest line of new fall silks I have
ever had the pleasure of seeing;
including the new silk poplins
in all the popular shades and
colors for fall; they are yard
wide, at $1. Then he had the
Roman stripes to match, for
making the new combination
dresses, for trimmings, waists,
girdles, etc., and only 50c yard.
He also has a complete line of
taffetas, messalines, and the
new Dutchess satin at SI a
yard.
Then we moved down to the
next counter in front of their
magnificent stock of 25c dress
goods. 1 never saw so many
pretty goods at 25c a yard in
my life. He showed me the
new crepe de Syria, rik rak
cloth, crepe de Egypt, corded
poplin, silk stripe poplin, crepe
poiret, brocaded poplin, crepe
ratine, Russian cordette, and a
fine wool-finish shepherd plaid
suiting 44 inches wide. There
were many others, but' I can’t
recall the names. Just think
of all these pretty goods, and
only 25c a yard!
Then he showed me their
new corsets. They still carry
the old reliable R. ik G. You
know you always suid that it
was the best $1 corset made.
Of course they have the strong
close-ribbed models for stout
people, at $1.50, $2.50 and $3.
They still carry that fine light
weight batiste corset with four
hose supporters, at 50c.
Next came their wash goods
section. 1 never saw such a
large assortment of new ging
ham, percale, galatea and
chambray. They had two big
tables piled high with gingham
and percale, and a big sign over
them which read, “Guaranteed
fast colors; your choice, 10c. v
Then came the table damask
and brown linen. They had a
big stock of 24- and 3-yard
remnants of nice satin bleached
table damask, at 2\ yards for
63c; 3 yards for 75c; besides
about 25 big bolts of fine quali
ty satin damask and pure linen
cloth, ranging in price—25c,
50c, 65c and $i a yard.
And brown linens he priced
to me as cheap as cotton goods.
A very pretty linen at 10c a
yard. Another one, 36 inches
wide, at 19c; and the prettiest
quality yard-wide linen 1 ever
saw for 25c.
Next came the curtain goods
and drapery section. Every
thing in pretty curtain nets
that one could wish for at 10c,
124c, 15c, 19c and 25c.
Their draperies and cretons
were simply beautiful at 84c
and 10c a yard.
Next we hit the outings. My!
what a big stock of outings
they carry. One hundred and
sixteen big bolts right in front
of me. Every color, light or
dark, checks, plaids, stripes
and solid colors. And the
quality, 1 never saw its equal
at 10c a yard.
He also had a good light
weight outing at 5c.
Their 10c cotton flannel is as
heavy as 1 get for 124c at
home. And talk about heavy
weight flannel, they’ve got one
at 12ic.
Their wool flannel at 20c and
25c a yard is just simply dan
dy. Their heavy-weight, yard
wide, all-wool flannels are 40c
and 50c a yard. They’ve got
the red and blue flannels at
25c, 40c and 50c; and the grey
wool flannel at 25c.
I bought me a new tick for
the big feather bed in the front
room. Only paid 17Jc for
Amoskeag A C A, the best
ticking in America.
They had a good mattress
ticking for 10c a yard.
1 bought a bolt of that anti
septic diaper cloth, 10 yards

Next we came to the domes
tic department. Talk about

bleaching; they almost give that
stuff away. J bought 20 yards
of good quality bleaching for
$1, and 18 yards of good quality,

for$l, 20 yards yard-wide sheet
ing for $1, and a smooth woven,

shirts; large assortment at 10c.
Next a big table of cotton checks
for dresses and aprons, at 5c,
6c and 7c yard.
They had a beautiful line of
pretty dress calicoes at only 5c.
Mother, I bought you 20 yards
of that standard ginghams at
5c yard; you know we pay 7c
for it everywhere else.
Blankets! Blankets! It made
me want to see cold weather
when 1 looked at those blankets.
They were so nice and warm
looking, and only cost $1, $1.25,
$1.75 and $2 a pair for the cot
ton blankets, and $3.50 for a

Well, by this time it was 12
o’clock, so 1 told the young
man 1 would quit off until af
ter dinner. He ordered my
dinner for me from the restau
rant and had it sent over to
the store. You know they have

atiyotte,can eat their dinner. 1
had a nice, clean table and plen
ty of ice water. Mrs. Reynolds,
who has charge of their milli
nery department, talked to me
all the time I was eating, mak
ing me tcel very much at home.
Mother, you just ought to see
her New Fall Hats. They are
simply grand, and so very mod
erate in price. I bought a
swell little hat from her for
$3.75, although she has them
at $1.50 up to $12.50.
Then the young man came
up and showed me the new fall
coat suits, cloaks and dresses.
They were very pretty and
stylish. The suits range in
price from $10 up to $20. They
have almost every style and
color. The cloaks are indeed a
beautiful lot, including many
new fabrics. They range in
price from $5 up to $18.50.
They also have a dandy line
of children’s coats from $1.50
up to $7.50.
Then we came back down
stairs and went over to the
hosiery department. 4’ o u
know 1 always buy “Buster
Brown” guaranteed darnless
hosiery for John, myself and all
the kids; four pairs guaranteed
to wear four months without
darning.
They also have an extra
good hose at 10c and 15c.
Next we went through the
notion and ribbon department.
Two big sloping tables filled
with small notions, such as
pins, combs, buttons, thread,
pencils, hair pins, tango pins,
safety pins, tablets, soap, oil,
talcum, face cream and pow
der, and a hundred other items
too numerous to mention. The
[trices are so low that it’s just
like picking them up in the
road.
Then he showed me two big
lines of children’s sample hats
in red, grey, blue and black at
25c, 39c and 50c.
We next went to the clothing
department, for I wanted a suit
for Raul and Ralph. Really l
don’t sec how they sell clothing
so cheap. I bought Paul a nice
little Norfolk suit for$2.50, and
Ralph one for $3.
They have an immense stock
of boys’ clothing in Norfolks
and plain models, sizes 6 to 16
years, at $2.50, $3 and $3.50.
Little fellows’ suits at $1.25,
$1.50 and $2. And say, mother,
they are now giving, and will
continue to give for thirty days
from date, a nice silver case $1
watch with every suit of Per
fection brand clothes sold at $5,
$6 or $7. Those Perfection
clothes are boy-proof.
Mother, 1 wish you could sec
John’s suit. Mr. Stripling said
he could save John $2.50 to $5
on his fall suit; and, believe me,
when you sec that blue serge
suit he bought, for $12.50, you
will say “he certainly did.”
They have a big stock of good
clothing, at $10, $12.50, $15 and
$18.50.
Next came the shoes; my!
what a big shoe stock they
carry; between $12,000 and
$14,000, and every pair good
solid leather shoes.
John bought himself a pair
of those green bottom Kromclk
shoes for $3. lie wore a pair
of them last year for eleven
months and two weeks. Every
body says they arc the best
work shoes marie.
I bought me a pair of Doro
thy Dodd patent buttons for $3.
Although they range in price
fron $2.75 to $4.
We bought Godman shoes for
all the kids. They are the best
school shoes made; every pair
solid leather.
Well, mother, my bill was
$66.18. There were bundles
enough to fill a wagon. They
sent them to the 3:17 train tor
me and 1 returned homedelight-
ed with the goods I had bought,
and more than pleased with the
courtesy shown me, so when
you or any of your neighbors go
to Newnan, be sure and go to
Striplings, and see what a lot of
goods just a little money will
buy.
With love to all,
Your loving daughter.
