SAID HE WOULD GO FARTHER AND TRY

After being turned down by us
the above remark was made by one
Of the statesmen. If you were COM
ing to Dawson with line of goods
for sale you would naturally hunt up
the house you had reason to believe
handled the largest amount.
When you want an article you
want to buy the best article for the
money. From every standpoint we
are in better position to furnish that
article if it is in the jewelry line.
Adams Jewelry Store is jealous
of its reputation for handling the
best goods for the money which can
be bought. If you are not certain of
this fact in your own mind compare
our prices with the jeweler who ham
dies the same grade of goods
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1912-09-24

1t is generally our privilege to in
spect the lines of goods which the
statesmen represent first.
We therefore have an option on
the cream of the market in the jew
elry line, and when our judgment
dictates it to be wise We buy the line
and the gentleman takes the next
train, leaving us to represent the
line exclusively.
This fact is not generally known,
as most of the lines sold by other
merchants are sold to all who will
buy, and place all on the same foot
ing. The factories We represent sell
to us alone in Dawson, and you can
not get the same goods elsewhere III
