No more striking or truthful illustration could be devised than the
above to convey to the world at large an idea as to the progress, from an
agricultural pojnt of view, of the Great Panhandle Country. There is
no exaggeration whatever in the pictorial portrayal. The artist must
be an observer who sticks to the truth in making his sketches. Any
part of the Panhandle today will verify the correctness of the 1906
vieuf. That the situation of 1901 and 1903 is truly' pictured all know
who saw this country at that time. What will be the common sight on
the Panhandle prairies by 19 10 is certainly not too strongly set forth.
Some interurban street car lines, rural phones and free delivery mail
routes might have been appropriately introduced in the sketch. How
ever, on the whole the picture of the past, present and future is a good
one, and Thh IIkkau) is pleased to reproduce it for the benefit of those
who know it speaks truth, and those who may still be in the dark or
belong to the Doubting Thomas class.
Today the great Loom End Sale
will be inaugurated by the Famous
and from all preparations the sale
will be the largest ever pulled off
in the history of this popular store.
The store is being decorated in
the most artistic manner and hun
dreds of yards of dress goods have
been removed from the shelving
and displayed in a most pleasing
manner where eyery shade and de
sign can be examined in the most
critical manner. Large orders ar
riving late in the season have bro't
in every conceivable pattern and
the stock is resplendent with the
latest productions in every depart
ment.
In announcing the inauguration
of the great semi-annual sale H.
Joe Isaacs, manager of the store.
says: 'We are determined to clean
our stock of every piece of summer
merchandise In our great establish
ment. We intend in the future to
cater only to our already best class
of trade, and we know the only
way to clean out this big stock is
to sell goods at the lowest possible
price. This we intend doing, and
it will be worth your while to come
miles to do your trading."
In conclusion of his two-page
announcement of this big sale in
last Friday's issue of the Herald
Mr. Isaacs says: "We want your
money if you can use our goods.
This is a plain statement of. facts,
'you get your moneys worth.' But
you have one consolation, if you
buy anything from 'The Famous,
sale or no sale, you can always re- '
turn same and get your money back
for it. piece goods excepted. This
is the saving that has made us
what we are, for we have lived up
to it implicitly. Now all we can
say to you is to be sure and attend
this sale, buy what you think is
cheap, and tell your friends and
your friends' friends. 'This will be
our greatest sale.
