Think of Our Bargains.
No other store can show them. We
can. We do, and will continue to sel
goods much cheaper than any other
store. As we do not expect any trade
for love or friendship, of course we
must rely on the true merits of our
business, and we are confident that
our store is a popular place for those
who value a dollar. Of course there
are cranks whose presence are lees
tolerable than a dead rat or a ple
cat, and when these same up welcome
intruders are around our store the
atmosphere becomes very frigid.

Mr. Geo. N. Walters, Raleigh, N. 0.:
The fall selections of woolens which
wo have made for you this season are
of the finest quality that our looms
have produced. They have all been
made from specially selected Austra
lian wool. You can highly recom
mend them for their colors and dura
bility. In designs the quiet and sub
dued appear to be those demanded
by the ultra fashionable merchant
tailors. You will find your patterns
in styles far superior to any we have
made for the English market.
