Washing Need
Never Hurt
Most Materials

You can't expect most fabrics to
stand up under the wear and tear
of rubbing and boiling. But II
you use a real naptha soap, like
Fels-Naptha, in cool or luke
warm water, you can wash all
most any material repeatedly
without harming it.
That's because the soap ard naptha
combination looscns and disSolveS the
dirt BY its own action. Yet, it won't
harm any iabric-while boiling weak
ems fbres and hard rubbing wears
them apart.
These dainty wAiSt;.-GeoTEctte, crepe
de chine. even Silk--uAy be washed
easily ard perfectly if you follow the
simple Fels-Naptha directions. It's the
economical way to get the most wear
from your priced possessions.

FOOD sTuFFs FOR CASH ONLY
TO OUR PATRONS:

TO OUR PATRONS:
The retail merchants of this country
are facing a crisis which will either
put them upon strictly cash basis or
will put them out of business. They
must pay cash for all that they buy;
II they sell for cash they can pay cash
and reduce operating expenses. IN
der the credit system they are obliged
to do a banking business at loss end
to increase their operating expenses
materially.
We intend to continue In business,
and in order to do SO We will so
upon strictly cash basis on the iirst
day of July, 1918. If credit is neces-
sary The consumer should be the one
who goes to the bank and pays inter
est. With the present wage scale
there should be no necessity for any
enc 10 ask credit of merchant. In
fact we do not believe that credit L
a benefit TO any purchaser, and 1t Is
a loss to those who pay cash while
Others receive credit.
On and after the first day Of July
the Athens Mercantile company VIII
sell goods for cash and for eash
only. We will then discontinue hand
ling fresh meats. but will continue to
hande full line of bacon, hams ana
other cured meats We will reopen
the meat market in September with
our own slaughter house in opera

better satisfaction in quality ana

chandise at lower prices VIII enaoie
us to remain in business and to do
better by our customers than we have
in the past. We will continue to DE
liver goods until our men are caiieo
