THE BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD VOLUME XXXXU BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1913 NUMBER 272 SDRENNEN CO.* !“S & H” Green Trading Stamps With Each Purchase ! “DRENNEN CO ■ Every Department Bubbling With Real Values This full page ad cannot begin to give an adequate idea of all the inducements that await the bargain hunter at the big Drennen Store. The announcement of the F* ruary Furniture Sale compels us to place a part of the telling-on another page. There you will find a mention of Ladies’ Waists, Skirts, Coats, Hosiery, Handkerchiefs, Gloves, Wash Goods, the great Basement Bargains, Art Goods, Toilet Sup plies and a straight talk of interest from the Hardware Department. Make this big store your shopping center. You can actually do better here—and that’s what you’re after. Why Buster’s “Darnless” Hosiery Outlives Its Guarantee Don’t buy hosiery guaranteed merely to sell It. There are real reasons tor the guaran tee attached to every pair ot Buster Brown's DARNLES8’’ Hosiery, and furthermore, It's the only 20 cent silk lisle guar anteed hosiery made. Not only is it woven ot the moat dura ble, long staple Egyptian gauze, and fast dyed by a new secret process, but its patent French garter top prevents tearing and stretching. Its double sole, high spliced, 4 ply heel and "German Hoop," 3 ply toe distribute the wear even ly on the foot. For Men, Women and Children—All Styles, Sizes and Colors—Four Fairs for $1.00 or 25c a Fair.
