Special Fall and Winter Sale
of
H. T. DANIEL
Palmetto, Ga. 1906 Palmetto, Ga.
In making this my fall announcement for the season of 1900, I beg leave to thank
my many friends and customers who have stood by me in the past, and have
shown their friendship by their liberal patronage. We shall endeavor by fair and
honest dealing, not only to merit a continuance of our already large trade, but to
increase our sales by reaching sections we have not reached before. The motto,
“Goods well bought are half sold,” is ever before us. Therefore we are constantly
watching the rise and fall of the market, in order to take every advantage, and
buying in such quantities as will enable us to sell at the lowest possible prices.
Our stock is larger than ever before, complete in every detail.
Dry Goods.
To this department we have given special care in selecting the latest novelties of the season,
consisting of ladies’ broadcloth, panama cloth, voiles, brilliantines, mohair, serges, French flan-
nels, and a full line of taffeta and Chinese silks, percales, ginghams, prints, outings, teazle downs,
kimono suitings, llannels, jeans, cassimeres, repellants, checks, sheetings and shirtings. In fact,
the most complete line ever shown in this town.
Clothing.
To this line we can point with pride, having in
creased our sales for the last two years over one
hundred per cent. In style and make up our
goods are excelled by none. We handle nothing
but custom-made goods of the noted Kantbebeat
and Shield brands. In men’s, boys’ and chil
dren’s suits and overcoats, we can save you money
if you will only give us a chance.
Shoes.
In supplying the large and increasing demand in
this line, we have been careful in selecting such
brands as have been tried and not found wanting.
We realize the fact that shoes are high, but it has
been our good fortune to place our orders early,
and thus save a large per cent, of the advance.
In our stock you will find the most prominent and
best makes, such as Hamilton-brown’s, Crossott’s,
Courtney’s, Kiser’s King, etc.
Notions, Hats, Caps, etc.
The carefully selected stock in this department consist of men’s and ladies’ underwear, hose
and half hose, handkerchiefs, suspenders, etc. in hats and caps we can show you a beautiful
line of the latest styles. Our ready-to-wear department is large and complete, to which we call
the special attention of the ladies.
Groceries.
We handle a full line of groceries, always buying from first hand, enabling us to sell at the
very lowest prices.
Furniture, Coffins, etc.
The increase in our business in this line during the past year has been very gratifying, and
we are glad to state that we are able to show a much larger variety with styles and prices to suit
all. A cordial invitation is extended to all our friends and customers to call and see us when in
town. Remember Tuesday is always bargain day. Yours for business,
H.T.
A Chance for a Young Man. j
The developments of Southern
agriculture have clearly demon
strated one hopeful and inspiring
fact.
No man with intelligence and
experience has within recent years
given to a Southern farm diligent
and personal attention that he did
not reap from it an almost immo- 1
| diate competence and in the end
abundant prosperity.
Mow it is true that inexperienced
planters, indifferent attention, a
half-hearted prosecution and a
relegation of authority to other
hands, has frequently left South
ern farms in an unprosperous con
dition. Hut you cannot find in
Georgia a farm large or small run
by an industrious and intelligent
man upon sound methods that has
not paid him back in happiness
and in money.
From the record of Dave Shel
ton, and McCormick, and dim
Smith, and Pope brown, all
through the line this fact is estab
lished and inspiring.
Opportunities are abundant in
the South. We have in many
places in Georgia large farms and
stately acres bought by men as in
vestments whose larger interests
do not leave them time for person
al attention to their farms. These
conditions afford superb oppor
tunities to skillful and industrious
young men of the South and of the
North who have determined wisely
to make agriculture their profes
sion.
Here, for instance, the editor of
The Georgian has a friend who is
the owner of a large and notable
plantation in one of the best quar
ters of the state. Hu himself has
prospered in this world’s goods
and his farm is ample, well located
and callable of superb development.
The editor of The Georgian engages
to interest any young man of
brains and energy who has given
his time and talents to the study
of agriculture, both practically and
theoretically, in this property and
to furnish him with an engage
ment that will be more profitable
than a bank clerkship, more pro-
i lilic of happiness Uiau a railroad
agency and more promising of ad
vancement than any place behind
the counter in the capital city of
I Georgia. We are confident that
! there are other men who know of
just such positions waiting in the
iHouth for the application of capa
ble and accomplished agricultur
ists to take hold of them. Wo
suggest to these men that they
make known by correspondence
and by advertising just what Geor-
I gia and the .South has to offer to
young, energetic, and progressive
men who are willing to turn their
backs on the luxuries and tempta
tions of the city and fo build solid
and substantial futures upon the
farms of Georgia, which they can
help to turn into places of beauty
and of comfort that will redeem
the isolation of the rural regions,
and will adorn and glorify the
state.
