Wraps Of
Rich Fabrics

Handsome, soft-surfaced
fabrics form the very dis
tinctive wraps of autumn
which completely envelope
and almost conceal the
figure for they are cut on
generous lines and many
have huge luxurious collars
Of fur. The collars are the
principal part, in fact often
the biggest part for they
lose themselves in capelike
proportions. Many are
heavily shirred and made in
a cowl effect with bands of
seal, beaver or whole col
lars Of raccoon, and beaver.
The collars of self material
are tucked or stitched in
chenille in self or contrast
ing colors. The dolman
sleeves which end in large
cuffs may be of fur to
match the collar, or of self
material braid or button
trim, or chenille stitched.
If by chance one does not
become so enraptured with
the outer lines and glances
at the Innings they will find
huge oriental motifs on
dark backgrounds, Jap
anese figures, floral pat
terms, barred effects and
bright figures generously
scatt\ Pred over sombre
backgrounds. Many of the
Innings in the more conserv-
alive coats are plain. Priced
at. $4,000 upward.

The Splendid Cooperation of Manufacturers Enables Us to Announce
A Presentation Of Fall Apparel
on the Much Desired L0wer Basis of Cost

It has been most gratifying to US, during the re-
cent weeks, to discover a11 profit by the FINE
SPIRIT OF COOPERATION displayed by the man
ufacturers with whom we have been working, to not
but also to attain the great object for which MI of
us have been hoping-the turning back from high
prices, to the return of reasonable costs for all
kinds of garments.
The change has not been radical, of course. That
was not to be expected. While some raw materials
are lower in price, much of the labor that goes into
garments now costs much more than it did last sea-
son. But in spite Of this, found the desire al
most universal among the manufacturers with whom
aid US in MAKING PRICES REASONABLE.
They have worked for lower costs of production.
They have eliminated waste; yet they have main
out any doubt, they have kept their promise and
have taken less profit for themselves.
We, too, have marked the new apparel at less
profit to ourselves-hopng by securing more sales to
make good our income at less individual cost to each
customer. ~
This earnest work, on the part of all, means fine
ems Apparel, this Fall. It is the result of the fight
that all have made during the past season, to lower
the cost Of living If the fight had not been made,
prices would undoubtedly have been greatly ad-
vaneed this Fall When you come tomorrow, and
during the following weeks, you win realize how
much the efforts Of retailers and manufacturers
backed by pubic opinion-hsye done for the benefit
Come and enjoy seeing the esziy exhibits.
There is always most satisfaction about being first
to wear the new things and much greater service for
the MONEY paid By reason Of the extra weeks of
wear that the purchaser secures.

late P. H. Hurt She grew up in ia

one of the well known households
of that community lying to the
north of Obion, which gcNe to the
county some of its best citizens.

Tested those tender christian graces
which developed in her devotions
and sacrifices to the aged Parents,
more especially in an attachment to
her stepmother, Aunt Shug Hurt, af-
ter the death of her father, the
grand old man of that country.
In the golden days of youth and
charm Miss Hurt and DR.. Farrior
became husband and wife. That was
33 years ago on the 7th of February.
There were three children, boy,

AMERICANS BIGGEST USERS OF RAILROADS;
SERVICE HERE FAR OUTSKIRTS EUROPE

The railways Of the United States in
point Of actual railway service lead
the world. Americans buy more rail-
way service, and greater amount Of
transportation is supplied and used In
the United States than in any other
country.
According to statistics prepared by
the Bureau Of Railway Economics, the
ton miles per capita carried by United
States railroads in 1913 were almost
five times the ton miles per capita car
ried by Germany, which was second to
the United States in this respect. The
ton miles per capita carried by the
United States railroads In 1918 were
S,101. In Germany the ton miles per
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1920-03-12

capita carried by the railroads were
631 and in France 447.
Since 1913 the increase in ton miles
per capita carried by the railroads Of
the United States was more than the
total carried by either of the two other
countries in that year. In comparison
with the total of 631 carried by the
railroads in Germany and the total of
447 carried by the railroads in France
the increase carried by the railroads in
the United States since 1918 was 759
