C E. LUNDY CLOTHING
STORE.
How many reader* of The News
know that the average suit of clothe*
ha* over one hundred and fifty-seven
different parts, ami the average pair
of trousers over sixty processes?
Few men realize this fact. They nev
er stop to question the merit of a gar
ment if it is attractive to the eye and
has a shapely appearance. There are
few lines of merchandise that de
pend more largely upon the repre«en
tation of the dealer than Ihnt of cloth
ing:. It is important, therefore, if
you are not a judge of cloth to deal
with a merchant ir. whom you have
faith and whor-e representations can
be depended on. In the person of
Mr. C. K. Lundy, proprietor of the
C. E. Lundy Clothing Store, the citi
zens have a merchant with whom they
can deal with the utmost confidence
and satisfaction, for here you will
(tet value received for every dollar
you spend. The stock carried by this
house is unsurpassed by any in this
•ection. This is the home of Hirsch
baujn's superior line of clothing,
known as the greatest value for the
money in the market. In addition to

carried. This is the exclusive agency
for Knox hats, and Vidix shirta. New
arrivals of spring goods are coming
in every day. The later and nobbiest
design* and styles are shown as
quickly here as in the large citics.
On account of the handsome stork

MOUNT AIRY STEAM
BAKERY.
Mount Airy and Surry county citi
zens who think the best bakery pro
ducts arc turned out by the big con
cerns should first patronize their home
enterprise, the Mount Airy Steam
Bakery, of which Mr. W. J. Chandler,
U manager, and no doubt they will
change their minds in this respect.
Mr. Chandler is assisted by exper
ienced help in the bakery business,
and his establishment is prepared to
supply your nwdi tn all lines. 1M
(oodii manufactured by thia enUr
prize are of the home-made variety,
while the work ia done under the moat

ln*d and other ingredient*. A «pe
, eialty ia made of bread, being posit

| while the rakes and pies are among
the finest to be had anywhere. A
large business has been established on
these product*, for those who once
uie thim are never satisfied with
other brands or mukes. There is not
a more completely equipped plant in
Wo<tern North Carolina than this
one, the late I and most impioved ma
chinery being installed. Human hands
never come in contact with the goods
after they have been apportioned.
No establishment could be more san
itary in arrangement, nor more per
fectly operated. This ia a home en
