1 q merry CHRISTMAS ana AeppV New
| Year.
This is the eleventh time that we have
wished cur many friends and patrous the
usual compliments Of the season. Each time
we have felt ourselves under more weighty
| obligations, owing TO the marvellous in
crease Of patronage bestowed upon us, con-
/ ssqaently the heartiness Of our greeting has
been Intensified year BY year until we have
now reached the zenith Of gratefuiness.
1t IS our pleasure to announce that we are
no" back on the old camping ground. but
IN such altered condition that IL is not recog-
nizable, though 1t brings back all the tender
emotions Of our youth and orr early strug-
ges for recognition in a business world.
Eleven years ago we were unknown and
frlondleSs IN a strange city. To-day 1--WE
say it with pardonable PRIDE we are known
all over thu south and receive business from
every southern state.
How has this result been attained in so
short time! you naturally inquire. The
solution is simple and plain. From the
cradle up we were Cared with these old
prob.rbs always before US: do unto
Others as you would have them do unto
you" Honesty is the best policv.n We
trust that we have impressed our friends
and patrOus with the fact that these prin-
ciples are a part and parcel OF our being.
Ot course these teachings had TO be coupled
with business tact and energy. We leave it
10 discriminating public 10 decide whether
or not we possess the latter qualification.
In this connection we desire to say that
our new stores are flowing over with bright,
new, and elegant pianos and organs Of the
leading makers from 1925 to 81, 500 each.
We also invite your attention to our
large assortment OF fine etchings, water
colors, artists proofs, pastels, oil paintings,
framed and ready for the walls.
This line of goods our Mr.. l.. L. Davis re-
Gently purchased at the annual auction
sales OF fine pictures in New Ycrk city,
where the leading artists of the dav send
their picsures for exhibition and sale. These
sales are largely patronized by the wealth
aBd aristocracy of this country, and it is no
unusual thing to have as bidders against
you Gould or a Vanderbilt, or an Astor.
We want it distinctly understood that these
pictures are no cheap, trashy goods, but
are elegant, high-toned and artistic. The
prices range from SIS to 5000 each. We
