Grant property. 65 Peachtree street, corner of Auburn ave nue. has set real estate agents and in vestors to talking about the probable purchaser. The fact that Ed Inman owns the adjoining lot and that he is not averse to purchasing central prop erty has made many believe that he will be the buyer. Asa G. Candler's name also is mentioned. That south Georgia capital is inter ested in Atlanta real estate is shown by the presence of two capitalists of that section who have spent today in Atlanta looking over the deeds to the property. These men decline to have their names connected with the prop erty as yet, but do not deny that their money will be offered when the lot Is auctioned off at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. Just what the lot, which has a 27- foot frontage on Peachtree street end runs back 125 feet on Auburn avenue, will bring even Steve Johnston, the auc. tioneer. declines to predict. The build ing standing on it is now leased by the United Cigar Company and the lease has over a year longer to run. Chamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Co. Atlanta New York Paris A SALE OF LACES In Which HALF-PRICE Plays An Important Part Tomorrow morning when the store opens at 8 o’clock we begin a day’s selling of laces at ex actly half their regular prices. And they are such wanted laces as these— Venise edges, insertions, bands, points and medallions. Net top edges and bands. Shadow edges and bands. Ratine bands. Filet bands. All of these in cream and white and in varying widths from the very narrow, to the wide and handsome edges and bands for dress and suit trimmings. They were until now priced from 25c to $2.00. The half-price of tomorrow is due to the fact that they are somewhat soiled, and that this is a clearance, a putting in order of the lace stock. However, you will find many match sets and in lengths to meet any of your needs. Better laces—from the viewpoint of patterns, of style, you may judge from the names that they are the wanted kinds, have not been shown in Atlanta this season. Smart women will buy them in quantities! For quantities are here; quantities in which quality dominates. So come in the early morning and make your selections leisurely and carefully while the day is still cool. Cliamberlin=Johnson=Dußose Co. MRS.
