U’e take pleasure at all times in cashing cho ks anti changing money for our frientls anti cus tomers. I NO. 1 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.

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.
