FOR EVERYBODY
There is only one way to make a success in the mercantile business today. The time has gone
by when sharp practice and dickering will succeed. The people today know which side of their
bread is buttered, and competition is so sharp that the merchant who seeks to take advantage of
his customers may as well prepare to go out of business. It requires a great deal of study to keep
the right kind of a store; one must know all kinds of goods, and this knowledge does not come ex
cept from experience. We employ only the best help—those who know their business and what our
trade requires. Every article we offer for sale has passed the most rigorous tests and we guaran
tee everything we sell to be the very best of its kind.
A WORD ABOUT SHOES
There is only one full line of Shoes
which is made in the proper manner and
that is Courtney’s. They are made with
the solid top leather extending entirely
under the tip and sewed to the sole with
the tip. Other shoes are not made this
way. Come in 4«id we will show you at
a glance why we sell Courtney’s Shoes
in preference to all others. We have a
full line and can shoe your entire family.
DRY GOODS and FURNISHINGS
