A CANDID STATEMENT.
In Spite of the


unusual conditions existing at this
time all over the country, as to mer
chandise values, it is our pleasure to
announce to our many friends and
customers that we are in position
to sell our goods (98fo of them) at
the same prices as last year, which is
an actual saving of % to 1919, and
in some instances on certain suits
and overcoats you will find saving
of 500.
The truth is, we bought heavier
than at any one time in our forty
years of business life We bought
our suits and overcoats as well as
other goods needed for winter use.

BIG DEMONSTRATION FRIDAY.
Pauline & Bradrick of the Service
Co. Will Demonstrate ArcO
Wand Vacuum Cleaners
at Their Office.

The big demonstration OF Arco
Wand Vacuum cleaners, advertised
to take place tomorrow by Pauline
& BradriclI of The Service Co., has
been postponed until the next day,
Friday, Oct goth. An expert will
demonstrate how carpets, rugs and
will have longer life
when cleaned the new way. Remem-
Der the date Friday, and visit The
Service Co. on East Water street and
see this new cleaner demonstrated.
The reason why brOomtswept
carpets and rugs grow WORKOUT and
threadbare is that the sand and grit
which is tracked over them finds
lodgment deep down at the base OF
the nap. This grit when examined
Under the microscope, shows knife
like cutting edges. Walking over the
carpet forces the fine nap against
these knife-edges and shears it off,
leaving the bare warp in view. No
amount of broomsweeping can pos
sibly dislodge this cutting grit.
The only thorough way to get rid
of grit is to clean the rooms with a
vacuum cleaner. The vacuum clean
er tools are gently moved over the
carpet which instantly gathers up
dirt and grit and deposits it into the
scaled dust bucket of the machine.
Vacuum cleaning is rapidly coming
into general use and it is the proper
way to clean house. Every woman
knows that no amount of sweeping
will actually "clean" a carpet. OF
course part of the surface dirt is re-
moved, but in sweeping it is rolled
from one end Of the carpet to the
other and much sand and grit are
worked down into the fabric.
Sweeping also raises a cloud of
dust which is Particularly destruc-
tive to house furnishings and very
harmful to the family health. House
cleaning the old way is really chas-
ing dust and dirt from one place to
the other. but does not get entirely
rid of it. Vacuum cleaning gathers
up all dust and Dirt and entirely re-
moves it from the house

GEORGIA SUFFRAGETTES
WANT RIGHT TO VOTE

Atlanta, Jan. 20-The Georgia suff-
ragettes as represented by the three
associations in Atlanta, practically
despairing of getting the statewide
right to vote, at least for several
years to come, have suddenly turned
their attention toward concerted
movement to get the right to vote in
Atlantas municipal elections.
They want the right to vote for
mayor, city aldermen, and all other
city officials. They are going to cir
cuiate a petition it is said.
The suffragette leaders claim that
they have the support of Councilman
Albert Thompson who will take the
flght to council provided beforehand
the suffragettes can get 5000 Atlanta
women to signify their desire to vote
Strange as it may sound to those
who have heard only the suffrage
side, there are many Atlanta women
leaders who are opposed to the vote
and it seems very doubtful whether
as many as 5000 signers can be Sc
cured.
