BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE
IMPROVING, SAYS J. T. JOHNSON
John T. Johnson of the Western
Windmill Company, ha returned
from a trip to the Fairbanks-Morse
plant at lieloit, Wisconsin, lie re
ports conditions rapidly improving
generaliv throughout the portion of
the Noitli that he visited and espec
ially at the big engine works. The
plant was neatly fhut down during
the winter but H now employing
2, .100 men. The Cray iron foundry,
said to he one of the largest in the
world, is now operating at one-third
of its capacity and th? officials of
the company are optimistic of im
proving conditions, both locally and
in export trade. In the corn-belt of
Illinois, the corn was barely showing,

ITS OVER!
AND IT AIN'T
We have just closed one of our most successful sales. The bankrupt stock has
been satisfactorily cleaned out. And while we are taking this means of telling
the people of the South Plains how thankful we are for their liberal patronage
during our extra effort, we also want to tell you about one of the big things this
bankrupt sale learned us and the result it will have on our sales policy hereafter.
We have -been thoroughly convinced that
enough volume of business can be secured
by keeping the prices down as low as pos
sible to really create a sensation in the mer
cantile business in Lubbock. We learned
that people know values. As a result we
are now publishing our pledge to the peo
ple of the South Plains.
"WE'RE AFTER VOLUME BUSINESS"
And our prices will be strictly in accord
with this idea. We promise to you that
with one of the larger, newest and most
complete stocks of Dry Goods ever as
sembled in West Texas to select from, you
can come here, compare our price and be
satisfied that The Leader is the cheapest
place to buy good, high quality, standard
merchandise at all times.
THE SALE IS OFF BUT THE PRICES
ARE ON!
New goods will be sold to you at aston
ishingly low margins of profit. Our vari
ous departments are being filled as fast as
shipments can be made. Come to the Lead
er and let us show you that the Big Bank
rupt Sale taught us something that will
bring about one of the biggest changes in
merchandising ever made in West Texas.
