"Around the Square" is devoted ex-
clusively to the merchants and their
wares. The displays and goods called
attention to in this column will be
well worth your while to look over.
The time for June brides is past
but Mr.. Norton, of the Norton Hard
ware Company, is still reminding the
folks that some of the June brides
will still appreciate gifts of silver
ware. The Norton Company are sole
agents in this section for Communi-
ty plate and it is said that there is
no better on the market than Com
munity Plate. Mr.. Norton also says
"Sit down to Wash" They have
complete line of washing machines
and your attention is called to them
in their advertisement for this week.
-Four trips to New York since jan
uary." Now sometimes you would
think that these trips to New York
were merely ones of pleasure, but
not so in the case of Mr.. w. A. Flor
ence. of the Florence Dry Goods Co.,
for he goes there at least twice a
year to buy goods for the dry goods
patrons of his store, but this year
the demand has been so heavy that
it was necessary for Mr.. Florence to
make extra trips to replenish his
stocks for the store. The work of
remodeling and building the addi-
ton to the store is fast nearing COM
pletion and when finished the Flor
ence Company will be one of the
most up-to-date and modern stores
in North Georgia.
Attention is called to the adver-
tisement this week of Mr.. w. &. Nc
Collum, the tailored-t o-measure man.
Mr.. McCollum says clothes this fall
are in most cases cheaper than they
have been since the great war started
and if you want to save money on
your clothing it will pay you to in
spect his samples Rumors to the
effect that clothing will be higher
this fall than ever have been spread
about, says Mr.. McCollum, but after
looking over my line and getting my
prices you will readily see that this
report is untrue.
The outlook for good crops are
getting brighter every day, says Mr..
Frey, of the Brown, Allgood & Co.,
and the farmers are buying heavily
of foodstuffs and supplies. This COM
pany is preparing to go into cotton
buying in the fall and enjoys one of
the best farmer trades as any store
in town as we'll as the business of
many city folks.
With vacation days over the
thoughts of the housewife naturally
turns to making a home comfortable
for the fall and winter months. A
piece of new furniture or rug added
from time to time will do this, says
John S. Dobbins. Mr.. Dobbins has
been in the furniture business for
years and his only thought is to please
his customers Anything that comes
from Dobbins' must be all right or
you may feel sure that it will be made
right to your own satisfaction.
Bloom & Kaplan announce the first
showing of their fall and winter line
of ladies' and children's ready-to-
wear Mr.. Bloom has-just returned
from New Yorl; and good purchases
on this trip to the Eastern markets
are arriving on every express.
