announcement to our manu-
lady customers

Realizing the fact that many of the ladies of
Orleans and vicinity in the habit of sending
their money out of town to buy their ready-to-wear
Garments or that they think it necessary for them to
On to the larger towns to be able to secure the ma
tpra fit and style, coupled with the price of their
Garments we have decided that the most of these
ladies would much rather buy at home, (provided
-tbev get what they want) where they know the
store and know the parties from which they buy
and also know that if anything they bought was not
satisfactory that it would be made So
After taking all these things into consideration
and having investigated carefully we find that we
can give our patrons just good styles and just as
good goods at better prices than they can get by
going or sending away. Now, why we do this?
Listen. We are right here and have to pay our
expenses of clerk hire, rent, etc., anyway and by
adding these other lines expenses are not in
creased therefore, we can afford to sell you cheaper
than the man who is under heavy overhead ex-
pense. Think these things over and see if we are
not correct and come to the store before you go
elsewhere to buy.
