Gentlemen—Replying to yours of
recent date relative to result and
satisfaction with which we have used
your Culvert Pipe, would say that
we have been using it for over ten
years on our highways and public
buildings and it lias given perfect
satisfaction. We are doing away
with all the small wooden crossways,
which are a continual annoyance
and expense, and replacing them
with your pipe, which has the ap¬
pearance of lasting forever. We
take pleasure in recommending it to
our neighboring counties to bo far
cheaper md more permanent than
any cross-way that we have used.
We feel safe in making the above
assertion, as the pipe that was laid
ten years ago is intact and in a per¬
fect state of preservation. We can
give no higher endorsement than to
say, after using your pipe continually
for so long a jieriod, that Bibb coun¬
ty is still purchasing her pipe almost
weekly of your company. Yours
truly, G. M. Davis,

I have selected my goods this season with more care and bought in
larger quantities and more varied assortment than any previous season,
and feel safe in stating to the ladieB that anything in the millinery lints
can be found in my most
Magnificent Stock
that can be found outside of the larger cities, and at prices far below reg¬
ular city prices. Arlington can be truthfully styled the millinery center
of Southwest Georgia. Besides my establishment there are three other
well equipped millinery houses in Arlington, which fact demonstrates,
that what cannot be found in one can be found in another, and that
# NO MONOPOLY OF PRICES #
prevails in Arlington. Bear this one thing in mind, that BARGAINS hi
millinery can always bo found in Arlington. Should the ladies favor me
with their trade, I assure them that every effort will be made to make
our relations pleasant and goods will be offered them at prices which can
not be obtained in other cities. When in Arlington remember that The
Millinery Parlor is tho ladies’ home and that a cordial welcome awaits,
you. With an anxious bid for your trade, and promising
