Best Hosiery in Town at
McCoy's

That's taking in lot of territory
and no mistake, but it's common,
everyday expression Of women who
visit our store and we feel sure they
know exactly what they are talking
about. We do know that on many
grades of both women's and children's
hose our prices to you are below to-
days wholesale costs and once our
stock is exhausted naturally enough
our prices will have to go higher. It's
our advice to you to buy your winter
supply of hose right now. Prices can
not remain as low as they now are
because labor is too scarce and mater
ials too expensive. Raw cotton today
is selling at close to 30c pound. Our
hosiery prices are based on cotton
that cost the manufacturers less than
half today's prices.
