TOMORROW LAST DAY
OF Anniversary SALE

The great Anniversary Sale of the
Davidson Company will close tomor-
row and as an added inducement to
the public a large number of extra
specials will be offered, in addition to
the six regular bargain attractions.
The attention of readers is directed
to the ad in today's News enumerating
the special values to be had tomorrow.
These perhaps excel anything yet
offered during the sale and it will be
to the interest of buyers to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity.
Davidson's Sixth Anniversary Sale
has been a most pronounced success
from the first day, and has exceeded
the expectations of the management
The values offered have been of such
attractive nature and the goods
placed on sale so seasonable that the
trade has been quick to take advan-
tage of offerings. 1t has altogether
been one of the greatest bargain
events in the history of Hattiesburg
and has further demonstrated the fact
that when this enterprising firm ad-
vertises the trade accepts its state
ments at full value, the surest way to
build up lasting patronage.
