The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1889-09-26

IN all candor, and an inspection will verify
our statement. A lady went shopping in
Atlanta last week, on her return told her
friends that she could get as good bargains
IN goods in Marietta as she could in Allan
ia, and some instances better This is a
fact. Our Marietta merchants can save
you your time and railroad fare and dupl-
cate Atlanta prices.
The man who contents himself to do
business in the old way, who never bright.
ems his store or keeps such goods as the
people want, and never uses printers ink,
is very apt to get left by more progressive
and enterprising merchants. These are
times when people must hustle to secure
trade. Competition is active, sharp and
close in all branches Of business, and it
must be met by the same methods and
means as are employed by others.

THE repairing Of our fire engine, now in
the shop at Chattanooga will cost about
$1,000. This will eat a big holein the city
finances, and will doubtless prevent our
city authorities showing surplus in the
treasury at the end of the year. They
have been working to do that but is graft
flying feature to know that they can pay as
large debt at one time, and keep out of
debt.
