Send Your Orders to
Macon Merchants

THE Parcel Post has been in operation since
L January First and with this system it renders
senders service for every person in Noxubee county
and surroundings, giving them the same transporta-
ton facilities as nave heretofore been offered by the
express companies, the advantage being that the
parcel post almost reaches your very door. The
Macon merchants are able to handle your wants as
low as can be had anywhere and when you send
them your orders you trade at home with people
that help pay the expenses of the town, county and
state. The mail order business will receive accu-
rate and satisfactory attention here. If you have
anything to sell the Macon merchants will buy it, SO
why not spend your money with them. Always the
best price for cotton paid here. So make Macon
your trading point. Don't Kick, don't Knock
push with all your might to uplift and upbuild your
home town, MACON, MISS.
