BETTER DEMAND
FOR BEST GOODS
Comments of Mr.. ". D.
Bailey on Fall Trade.

The increase in our business Sc
far this fall has exceeded the increase
in any year that I have been in bust
ness in Americas. We expected a
good business, but the trade actually
done up to this time has exceeded all
expectations
This was what Mr. W D. Bailey
said yesterday afternoon in discussing
business conditions in Americas.
Another feature Of business this faIl
which has much impressed me- he
continued, has been the better grade
of goods that has been bought. The
demand for the higher priced cloth
ing has been surprisingly large. Ready
to wear clothing at $30 to $40 suit
has been called for to vastly great
er extent than ever before, and the
demand for the cheaper suits, Ehat
is, suits from SIS to sea- while very
satisfactory, has been below what we
anticipated. We construe this to
mean that our men folks are pros
porous and desire the best to be had.
In other lines of gentIemen's fur
nishings We notice the same tendency
to call for higher grades of goods
than in former years In hats, fer
instance, the $500 Knox. for which
we are agents, mas sold better than
ever before In underwear, dress
shirts, crayats, hose, in fact in every
thing that a man puts on we have no
ticed this steadily developing inclin-
alton 10 seek the better materials and
workmanship even at higher prices.
This is an evidence of prosperity and
educated taste that means much"
Mr.. Bailey's new store is now
completed in every detail 1t is one
Of the handsoT1Bst in this. section OF
the state. A floor space Of 90 by IS
gives ample opportunity for the dis
play of a large stock of gentleman's
goods Although SO deep the rear
of the store is well lighted, by means
of prism glass windows m front, the
first use of these in Americas. Store
and goods are in excellent taste.
Finished in pine, with hard oil fin
ish, the furniture is attractive and
cheerful. The. store has a ceiling OF
paneled steel and the walls are
tinted a light green, refreshing to, the
eye. Large new show cases enable
the display OF an exceedingly beau
tifuI line OF ties, suspenders and
other wears.
The display windows, equipped with
mirrors, are kept trimmed in an ar
tistic manner. At present there is q
display Of the most fashionable ties
and shirts. that is attracting much
attention.
Mr.. Bailey is agent for the Knox
hats and the Imperial $500 line He
is also agent for the Hart Schaffne1
& Marx Clothing Co., of Chicago, ant
the Schwab Clothing Co., of St Louis
carrying a large stock from each q
these manufacturers.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS
THAT PLEASE THE EYE

A stroll through the warerooms of
the A. w. Smith Furniture Co. at

pleasure to the lover Of the artistic

on both floors of the store 1t en-
braces everything that is needed in
the furnishing of home.
Americas home lovers evecy year
are furnishing their residences in a
more attractive, as well as more COM
Portable style. The enterprise of
such houses as the A. W. Smith Fur
niture Co, in carrying extensive
stocks of the latest makes enables
them to do this.

AS a result Of the recent slump in
the selling prices OF stocks and grain
grain and cotton futures, a Chicago
statistician has given out an estimate
that the visible supply Of cotton has
lost $2o,0OOO0O. That looks pretty
bad on paper, but as a matter Of fact
cotton is just as valuable as it was
ten days ago 1t is no doubt true that
exporters are not able to place ex-
change bills except at high rates, but
this is a passing incident Almost
any Georgia farmer can hold his
cotton off the market for a week OF
two with the certainty of getting 9
higher price than if pushed out at G
