BASS BROS. & CO. ■
17 Broad Street, Rome, Georgia.
Since beginning business here on Ist of January last our trade has
Increased and Enlarged
week by week until now when we have one of the beet trades enjoyed by merchants in North Georgia.
This is explained by the fact that we have bought out A t cibOUt half pHoCS
Three Large Bankrupt Stocks of. Goods
And placed on our counters for LESS TH AN WHOLESALE VALUE#. This captured the people and
filled our house with customers and made us scores of friends. For the FALL AND WINTER TRADE
now coming in, we have been singularly fortunate in making our purchases—having secured most of our
entire stock at Bankrupt and Closing Out Sales.
We have an immense stock of Hats—all qualities and styles—bought lower than anything ever shipped,
to Rome before. «
■ In Dry Goods We Are Bottom.
In Clothing we shall certainly during the coming season, be able to go in front with LOWER PRICES
than were ever made in this market, whether at wholesale or retail.
Afew weeks ago, when the announcement of the failure of SELIGMAN, MAY & CO., the greatest Cloth
ing Manufacturers, 619 and 651 Broadway, New York, was made public, we at once went to that city, and
with the cash in hand, bought from the assignee a large number of the
VERY BEST “DRIVES”
In the establisment. Our customers may confidently expect to buy of us Cheaper Clothing than were ever
offered here before. Think of a Splendid SUIT OF CLOTHES FOR $5-75, and a S3O suit for $19 —
nearly 40 per cent, below usual values. Overcoats from $3 up. We arc extremely fortunate in getting
jfWA Fine Stock of Shoes at About Half Price. A Splendid Dress Shirt for 45 cents. All sorts
of Shirts and Underwear nt but little over llsllf Price. COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF I
Oh IbpiM
Is full and Complete, and our prices as low as the
LOWEST. JSCome and See!

r#rw. C. Black is with this house and will be pleased to have his Chattooga friends call and see him.
