It's not prejudice that keeps peo-
pie from buying COFFEE ready
ground; it's their good sense-they
know it will rapidly lose whatever
of goodness it has. That's so about
ground coffee as usually sold.
We've overcome that by selling
ours in Screw-top tin cans, whereby
all the goodness is retained, no
matter if it takes two weeks or
more to use it up. It's best to buy
the background with such safe
guard because ours is pulVerized,
giving you a chance to get all the
strength out of the coffee. We sell
the sort the Pullman Buffet cars
serve. It's rank prejudice to buy
coffee green and roast it yourself.
Come in to-day and try cup
with'uS. To be sure we serve ours
from a specially good POT. We'd
like to do you the kindness Of sell
ing you a pot.

Did you know that manufacture
ers the country over acknowledge
that the upper portion of what's
known as The South requires the
finest goods of every sort' There
are modern CrOeSuS in the North
and West to be sure who buy
what's highest priced; but there's
a refinement of taste and a demand
for elegance in the South unknown
elsewhere. The recent confiden-
tial circular of a CORSET factory
issued for the guidance of whole
SalerS reminded us of this we'll
known trade tendency. Grouping
a line of truly exquisite corsetS,
extra long and tapering waist, that
part of the circular was headed
"for Southern trade" The circu-
lar wasn't meant for Southern
retailers to sector it had some
confidential figurationS on it, but we
saw it nevertheless, and took advan-
tage, as well Of the special Gin
side" way of securing corset ele-
gance, as of this merited compli-
ment to our section.
Undoubtedly we have the most
comprehensive and complete corset
stock in Richmond; the price range
being SII.25 pair to less than
SOC.

There's a full-blooded native
Turk in town-Mr. Hagoppas Mar
diroSiau. You shall have an oppor-
tunity to see him and Judge of
Armenian handicraft-also to see a
Yankee beat the Turk at his own
game. Quite interesting and in.
Clearer news about it
all tomorrow.
