To the Public
Beginning April 2nd. every dollar you spend cash
with us will entitle you to ten per cent more in mer
chandise - in other words your dollar is worth $1.10
in every department but the Grocery Department.
This step is taken after careful consideration. It is
taken on account of the high price of merchandise and
the greater necessity than ever before to make quick
turnovers even on very small margins of profit.
PRICES ON ALL ARTICLES WILL REMAIN
THE SAME AS NOW.
Come in and let us explain the details of this plan
and we believe you will appreciate the opportunity for
you to save that this plan provides.
Yours to serve,

All Jackson Street Lots
not taken by the Roanoke Mills Company for its immense new mill will be sold at prices
which can never be offered again on this most desirable dwelling property. Every lot
from Third to Tenth Streets now unsold is included in this offer.
After April 10th the price of every Lot will be positively and permanently advanced.
For ten days we are going to sell this property MUCH BELOW its real value for the
benefit of those who like ourselves have faith in the future of Roanoke Rapids.
A general increase in property values is inevitable in the face of the great industrial activity and the increased
population which will result from the building of the mammoth plant of the Roanoke Mills in April. Do not
wait until the last day and let some one else get the location you want. The number of lots for sale in Roa
noke Rapids is for more limited than most people imagine.
