ed put by the incessant rains and cold
during the spring. The coveys are
small. only four or Ave bids toScthax,
due to the poor Matching season.

"There is no better mer- chandise made than you will find in my store." LOUIS PIZITZ
 If there was any better to be found, I would have it. This is a strong state ment to make, but 1t is made with the full knowl- edge of it's correctness.
 On your shopping ex- curslons you may find some stores with a little finer carpet on the floor or with more expensive fixtures and using more red tape in the conduct of their business, but you will not find better mer- chandise, you will not find better styles any place than I will show you.
 l want you to go to other stores, look their stocks over, get their 1 prices, examine qualities, styles, etc.; then come to see me and I guarantee I will save you from twenty five to thirty-five per cent on what you want.
 As I said, these are broad assertions to make, but I personally stand back of them and defy them to be contradicted.
 Other stores may have more high priced floor walkers to meet you in their ballroom styles and other extra help which you are bound to pay for, but no more classy or bet ter stocks, no more care fully selected, no more ex- elusive styles can or will be shown you in any store in any city, no matter where you go.
 It is perfectly reason able that my prices are | less. I look after all these extra details of my store keeping myself, therefore there are no extras to tack on the price for you to pay.
 And now in conclusion I want to repeat, that no matter what you want to buy, l personally guaran- tee to sell it for less. l am now ready for the fall business with the greatest and most complete stocks ever brought into the city of Birmingham, and l defy all competition.
 Respectfully,
 (Signed) LOUIS PIZITZ

Now Is the Time to Operate

This is the season Of the year to leave
doors open. 1t allows fresh air to enter
welIheated and comfortable rooms, it
keeps the heater fire going to full limit
and oftentimes keeps the inmates in
bad humor and uncomfortable.
When you make call stand outside
the door, which stands wide open, and
talk ten or more minutes. It gives the
house time to cool off and puts it in a
sanitary condition. Business houses
and church doors should never be closed
