When prices began going up during the. war period they found us with a large stock of goods that had been bought at low prices. We profited than. When cotton price* began to tall uns season we had a tremen dous stock bought at high prices. These prices have not fallen. They will not begin to fall until this year’s crops have been made in- . to finished goods. The good* were made from cotton that you got forty cents a pound for; from wool that was sold at the peak of the market; from silk that sold at its highest; from the leather bought at war prices. However, you are losing monev on your crop. You and your fatn | ily must be clothed. We profited when you profited. It is justice that we share your loss when you lose. | There are no strings to our offer. Bring in your cotton, Buy what i you want and pay for it with the cotton at 25 cents a pound. This offer is good until further notice. I J. W. Draiighon j
