A COTTON EXPRESSION, "ON THE
QUIET"

Among people who are not in posi-
tion to appreciate "The Models"
| Modern methods, "The Model has
raised "The Devil" with prices, a fact
thoroughly appreciated by the public
however.
| The "Model's' Grand Benefit Sale
has proved ''picnic" in every sense
of the word; economical buyers are en-
joying themselves hugely like all pic
MICS, parties, balls, etc; a few
people have taken offense be-
cause they are not included
in the invitation. Never mind, gen.
tlemen, it was merely an oversight.
| Come lin with the crowd. A half
an hour spent with the Models bright
statesmen will prove Pleasant, Profit
able, Pastime, demonstrating to
your entire satisfaction that you can
better afford to buy new suit, over
coat or anything else at the Models"
one price prices, than to take them off
your own counters at the price you
paid for them or waste your time jew
ing with your own conscience to get
your own price down to proper basis.
It's dead wrong to censure us for
selling good goods cheaper than mosJ
dealers sell trash. With one of the
best clothing buyers known to the
trade, who, with able assistants, and
that powerful search-light-Cash
continually securing the Eastern
markets for bargains to supply our
great combination of up-to-date cloth
ing houses, employing thousands of
bright, enterprising statesmen and dis
posing of more merchandise than any
two concerns in the state Barring
nOne). With all these advantages
over the average dealer, and our
square dealing, one price methods, we
are in duty bound to share the benefit
with the people who favor us with
their confidence and patronage. We
appreciate their patronage, and shall
always do all within our power to
merit it,
Millions for the defense of honest
dealing, gentlemen; not one cent for
tribute to high prices-a stand we
took six years ago, and which has
caused many an obstacle Everything
from ungentlemanly remarks to the
felons CELL in our way. All of which
have vanished before the "Model's"
progressive methods like snow bank
under the rays of Old SOL And to-
day finds us following the same path,
with six years healthy growth upon
us, from manager and one salesman
to manager and twelve statesmen,
adding new friends to our long list of
satisfied customers every day. What
more do we want to convince us that
we are on the right path? What ex-
cuse is there for anyone leaving his
chosen path when he knows he is
right?
Everything about the "Model" is in
a cheerful mood. Its manager wears
a smile like basket of chips, it's sales
men are always in best of spirits, serv-
ing the wants of the thousands of
people who crowd in it's doors every
day, from stacks of modern .merchan-
disc at prices which never fail to bring
forth smile of satisfaction.
If you want a pleasant picture set
up before you, ask any of your friends
or neighbors what they think of '"The
Model" On the other hand if your
nerves will stand picture of horror,
ask our competitors the same question.
It's not a difference Of opinion that
brings out these two pictures, but
case of shoes that ''tit" and shoes that
pinch.
Every day adds new things to the
"MOdels" stack of unavoidable bar
gains, fully demonstrating our Mr.. d.
S. Storms ability as Shrewd buyer.
This mornings freight brought us a
lot of Mems Natural Grey all wool,un-
derwear, silk-trimmed, pearl button,
ribbed tail. A garment worth every
cent of S1.00. one price methods say
So Another lot OF boys Knee pants
that 60 on sale at 12c. A lot of lined
mittens, genuine calf skin front and
back. Not a dealer in town buys
them for less than $3.50 doz., never
theless they are yours at soc pair.
This mornings mail brings word
that another lot of underwear is on
the way, much better than the lot just
