The Money Question.

There is one thing certain, we cannot make
money here if you don't A lady said to US
yesterday, "Your store is always so crowded
that feel shy about coming in." We re-
sponded, Madam, this crowd is our very
best advertisement Not to give bargains
is to lose customers, to deal Justly and give
bargains means a crowd This crowd enables
us TO receive and buy more bargains every
day in the week. Were itnot for this crowd
we would not have the great advantage Of
buying many things by the carload and by
the original package. Wecould not sell you
a 10 cent canton for s cents if we had not
bought them by the case And we had to
buy jobbers stock Of White Counterpanes

mention names we would certainly refer you
to many ladies OF Lexington who have al
ready received the benefit Of this huge

homespun, 3S-inch all wool Dress Goods we
could never sell it at 20cts., a yard. Think
OF it, 80 inches wide, double thick; splendid

would be cheap at so cents. Nour inspec-
ton means purchase.

factories that stand behind us, and we stand
behind you for the wear Of these goods. We

straight along for twenty years, and two
other lines that we have been selling con
stantly for fifteen years Our ladies English
Walking Shoes have made tremendous hit
this season. They have soles as thick as
mems shoes yet as piable, symmetrical and
slick as shoes can be made, besides they
have n gum subsistence between the soles
which renders them entirely impervious 70
water. which knocks out the worry Of over
shoes. Respectfully,
