“After Whit* Tanlac Did
For Us We Think It the
Greatest Medicine That
Was Ever Made,” Says
Green
"We all think a mighty lot of Tan
lac at our hquse, for the whole family
has taken it.and now we are as well
and strong and happy as any set of
folks you ever saw,” aald 3. O. Green,
living at Sulphur Springe, Ga., a few
days ago. Mr. Green has been in the
employ of the Tennessee Stove Works
for twelve years past, and is highly
respected, in* his community.
"My little daughter Pauline, Is ten
years .old.” he continued, "and she has
been a mighty puny child for the last
four years. She has a bad case of ca
tarrh and in spite of the fact that I
had tried nearly everything under the
sun for her trouble, she had gone
down hill until she was In a mighty
bad fix. Her stomach was never in
condition and she hardly ate enough to
keep a bird fdlve. She could never
romp and play like other children, but
just moped around and seemed down
hearted and listless all the time.
“Tanlac had done her mother and
me so much good that T felt sure it
would put her In good shape so 1 got
some for ^er, and It sure was the best
thing I could have done. She began to
pick up right away and has been get
ting better every day since. Her ca
tarrh Is ever so much better, her ap
petite has come back and there's the
biggest difference /T~ever saw In her
since she finished the second^bottle of
Tanlac. She plays from morning till
night and enjoys life as much as any
chlldr now. After what Tanlac has
done for all of us. we think It is the
greatest medicine ever made."
Tanlac Is sold exclusively In Mont
gomery by E. Q. Fowler.

The New Kind of Store That Is Rapidly Coming
In and as Rapidly Reducing Prices ,
You Pay the Grocer Only for the Goods You Buy and Not for His Horse, Wagon, Automobile and Bookkeepers
"Tim appearance of this new kind of store jut at this time is particularly fortunate, as it is a step in the direction toward which the Government is moving. Those two bugbears of retail trade,
“Charge it” and “Send it, please,” are responsible for it. The working out of the new idea is lowering prices on all commodities without lowering the grade."

Special Demonstration
and Food Display of
During The Entire Week * >
Beginning Monday, Sept. 17th
AT OUR MAIN STORE, 26 DEXTER AVENUE
Mrs. C. E. Price the well known food specialist and caterer will demonstrate many of the uses
of this new Fruit Juice in preparing delicious, new desserts. She will also suggest many ways in
which PHEZ may be utilized in adding a new touch to familiar recipes. ^ * ..
This altogether delightful drink—has PEP.
With its invigorating fruit acids are combined
the aroma, tang and flavor that a real thirst
craves. PHEZ is just the juice of Loganber
ries, freshly picked in the early morning, dewy
wet, lightly crushed, hygenically handled,
sweetened and bottled—unadulterated and un
fermented.
“PHEZ IX THE HOME” is,the title of a
handsomely illustrated booklet in 5 colors con
taining tested recipes of delicious drinks, des
serts and modes of serving PHEZ. We will
send it free with an order for a sample bottle,
or a case.
Ripe Loganberries are simply bursting
with juice—“lusciousness” describes
them.
Raspberries are good—but a bit flat.
Blackberries are piquant—but tart.
^Close your eyes and try to think of a
taste that has the best of both—the frag
rant sweetness of the raspberry tinged
with the racy flavor of the blackberry.
Be Sure and Try This* New Fruit Juice
We take pleasure in extending an INVITATION to the puhlic of Montgomery to visit our store
and sample this wonderful New Fruit Juice from Oregon.
