A. T. THREADGILL
Our business is continually increasing, and
to meet the advanced trade, we shall soon have
our store in proper trim. To do this requires
extensive alterations; the breaking away of ma
sonrv, and the handling of large plate glass, to
reduce our stock to the limit to make room forBl
these improvements, compels us to make prices lower than eer before,
still we sell with the same guarantee that has always characterized our
sales "If goods are not as represented, return them and have your
money refunded." - s
We desire to call special attention to our stock of LADIES',
GENTS' and CHILDREN'S SHOES, which is the largest and
most complete line in the city. We sacrifice
