I o I I interest leg Facts
When you catch on to the fact that we're offering you the best values ever shown in this town you'll be surprised
that you have neglected the opportunity so long. The fact that we arc doing business for ourselves doesn't prevent
our doing business in a way that makes profit for you. We have two reasons for saying this.
We pay cash for our goods, therefore we take advantage of all discounts. This means a saving of more than a
clerk's salary.
We sell for cash. We don't have to figure on having any bad accounts on our books at the end of the year.
Don't you think these are sufficient reasons for us to say that we can save you money? Others have found out that
"WE SELL FOR LESS;'' why don't you?

The citizens of that portion of
Armstrong county which lies
southeast of the canyon are cer
tainly interested in the building
of the proposed railroad from
this city to Galveston by the way
of Silverton.
As announced through the col
umns of this pajx.-r last week
there was a meeting of these cit
izens at the Ueulali school house
in that county last Saturday.
When the meeting was called to
order by Chairman Helms there
was quite a representative crowd
of the citizens present and bo
fore the meeting adjourned the
entire building was comfortably
filled.
Fatly in the meeting it was
readily ascertained that these
lcope were thoroughly aroused
to the importance of active steps
for the securing of this proposed
outlet for their products and be
fore the meeting was over every
person present who was a land
owner had signed the contract
except one man and it is thought
that he would have made his
subscription had he not been
called away before the subscrip

was the reporter for the News,

wants to thank those people for
a very fine day's entertainment
for himseif as well as tin other
people from Canyon.
