CHEAPEST RENT IN
 NEW BRITAIN

Comparing the rent of our present store with our entire new building, we find our rent in the new building will be around fifty per cent. LESS per square foot.
 Our present store is very small and limited, consisting of around 5000 square feet, while our new store will have 36,0OO square feet, or twelve times more floor space.
 WHAT DO THESE FIGURES MEAN TO YOU? Should the interest on our investment !, be twelve times as much as our present rent we would not be paying any more rent per square foot, taking into consideration the extra floor space.
 But as matter of fact it figures out that we will pay 50 per cent. LESS per square foot than we're paying now.
 We bought the land and we're building 'The Bigger Better Store" to meet your, needs and ours.
 Thus we have brought down the rent per square foot in our new store and in the larger space we propose to do bigger business with your cooperation, and sell you good clothing at Tower prices than we have been able to do in our old store.

Hair Deadened By
Using Poor Shampoos

You cannot exercise too much care
in selecting a shampoo. Poorly pre-
pared mixtures, shampoos, pastes and
emulsions containing an excess of
alkali deadens the hair, takes away
its life and lustre and in many in
stances causes it to turn white. Shu-
co Shampoo is perfect saponifica-
ton of blend of the highest refined
cocoanut and palm oils suspended in
a solution just right to give health,
vigor and lustre to the hair.
Two or three teaspoonfuls applied
to the wetted hair and rubbed brisk
ly will at once change into a sparkl-
ing, creamy, bubbling bushel of la
ther which vanishes at once all dirt
and dust, rids the scalp of dandruff
and leaves the hair lustrous, soft,
wavy and brilliant. Your mirror will
tell you why Shuco Shampoo makes
hair with a thousand lights. At all
drug stores. adv

W. Jesse Gum, a former we'll

suddenly Monday at his home in Sa-
vannah, news of his demise reaching
here this morning. Although he
moved to Savannah to reside seven
wears ago, when the Seaboard shops
here were largely reduced in person
nell, Mr.. Gum was a frequent visitor
in Americus, and always regarded
this city as his home. He was 48
years of age, and a member of the
Methodist church, being a consistent
observer of the rites and customs of
that faith. His wife, who was a
Miss Cobb, of Americas, died about a
year ago in Savannah the remains
being brought here for funeral and
interment. Surviving relatives are
one daughter, Miss Mamie Louise
Gum, of Savannah, and five sisters
in-law, these being Mrs B. l..
Guerry, and Mrs. Calhe Cobb, of
Americus; Mrs Johnnie Cameron, of
Albany; Mrs. BERTHE Nall, of Toledo,

the members, and having simple re-
IfeShments served at the conclusion
OF tne sewing hour When the names
OF the members are recalled are,
no longer present, those members of
sacred and hOnOred name who live
ever IN the society in the great in
SplrdJlOn of their beautiful lives. the
occasions upon which the organiza-
Vioh now meets seem more than of
passing pleasure or financial benefit.
Ihis society was formed some
years ago for the purpose of having
the ladies of the church meet once
each month in social way. At these
gatherings the women carried their
needles and many and beautiful were
the articles turned out under their
deft fingers, these articles being sold
IN turn for use in the interior of
the church. Mrs. P. C. CIegg was
elected president of this organization.
and continued to serve faithfully and
well IN this capacity until recent
years, when because of her failing
health, she has not taken an active
part IN the working of the society,
although her influence is a guiding
star to those who have taken the
relns of government and carrying
the organization along just as she
planned 1t. 1t was through the eff
cient and untiring efforts of Mrs.
CIegg that the membership reached
the proportion it now enjoys, and
her inspiration has made it the won
dertul success it is at present She
is now the oldest member of the So
clety, and still gives of her time and
efforts in way which proves her
benefit to the organization. With
Mrs. Clegg were associated Mrs. S.
II. Hawkins, Mrs. Lee Allen, Mrs.
Caroline Sans, Mrs. Minnie Brown,
Mrs. Nellie Worthy and Mrs. j. E. D.

having passed into the vast unknown
during the last several years. Verify,

A Shampoo That
Makes Brilliant Hair

Ordinary soaps and cheap sham
poos leave the hair sticky and covered
with thick filmy substance that en-
dangers its life and makes it harsh
and lifeless and ugly. For the hair
only the most perfect blend of Cocoa
nut and Palm Oils as combined in
Shuco Shampoo should be used.
Shuco Shampoo is so prepared that
it will completely rinse out leaving
no npleasantness. 1t brings out the
lustre and brilliance and makes the
hair glossy like silk. Two or three
teaspoonfuls applied to the wetted
hair and rubbed briskly at once
changes into a bushel of sparkling,
bubbling, snowy-white lather, which
completely rinses out leaving the hair
glossy, silky, fluffy and wavy. Your
mirror will tell you why Shuco Sham
poo makes hair with thousand
lights. AT all good druggists. adv

PLAYGROUND CLUB HOUSE.
TO BE OPENED THURSDAY.

1t will be moving day in Americus
on Thursday, at least for the club
house committees. Thursday has
been selected as the official day on
which to open the club house at the
Fairgrounds.
For two weeks past the cleaners
and the painters and the decorators
have been busy at work getting the
doors and interior in shape to move
in the furnishings, and the ladies of
the various committees have been
securing the town for articles of fur
niture to be used therein, and MAX
ing pretty draperies for the windows.
Now this is all finished, and many
donations have been received by those
in charge, and the curtains hung, and
the furniture placed. 1t is ready now
to be shown the public just what a
lovely place the children of the town
will have to enjoy the efforts of
these splendid workers. Those who
promised articles for the furnishing,
and have not already sent them in,
may do so on Thursday, when there
will be a committee on hand all day
at the Fairgrounds to receive them.
1t is an ideal place in which to
locate a community club house. The
grounds are lovely and shady and
cool and inviting. Giant trees stand
on the lawn to shade the corners
from the unpleasant heat of the sun;
Towering trees and shrubs rejoice the
eye with the unfolding of fragrant
blossoms; the house is homev and
big and clean. 1t is hoped every one
IN Americus who has the civic wei
fare of the city at heart will go out
and see what has been done in con-
nection with this magnificent acquisi-
ton. 1t is worth a trip out there.
