To Our FRIENDS and CUSTOMERS
We know that you have heard that our Mr. Jule James is in bed for a few days, but will be out by Monday and at his place of business. We are glad to
say that since his sickness the interests of our customers have been keenly looked after—every one going home praising Rice and James for the glorious sales
they are making, and hurrying to come again. • " ~ . -
Many farmers who havesold on larger markets and who have sold with us are loud in praise of our sales, saying that we have decidedly the
best market in the east, and the traveling men also say we have the strongest market in the east.
And Rice and James house is full every day. There is a reason—We have our good customers to answer.
All good grades are much higher this week, so come on with a load of good tobacco next week and let us sell it for you. Old Jule will be at his place
of business Monday to welcome you again.
We lead in pounds and prices—We know tobacco from the seed to the plug—We don't jump back on your tobacco as do the big markets. We _
did not come from the crawfish family.
We are not afraid to buy, that's why we lead. Come to see us if you have notT>een; and if you have beenyou will surely come again.

will reflect itself in a better country
and a better people in the coming
years, such expenditures may be
classed as economy. On the other
hand, tile dollar that is spent for some
thing that wears out, rusts out, ir
burns may be called wastefulness.
, A certain, financier, wiio makes com
mercial-loans of all kinds recently
said that his bank found collections
on automobile notes 95 per cent bet
ter than any other class of not*..:,
which means that people are more-in
love with automobiles than they are
horses and-mules, homes or farms,
groceries or dry goods.
Certainly it is not economy to put
too much of our earnings in gas, oil,
and autos, because it. is too quickly
gone and too little value is left.
