PRATHER-ANSLEY
STORE IS BOUGHT
BY DR. MURRAY
Announcement was made Saturday
of the purchase, completed the lat
ter part of the week, of the Prather-
Ansley drug store, at the corner of
Forsyth and Windsor streets, by Dr.
Nathan F. Murray from Dr. J. E.
Prather. Possession has already been
taken by Dr. Murray. The was
made by George D. Wheatley. The
sole embraced the stock of merchan
dise, soda fountain and equipment
and accounts. The purchase price
was given out as in excess of $6,000.
Hi i t. Ith was given as D :. Prather's
reason for retiring.
In purchasing this drug store, Dr.
Murray returns to the pla■■■•■ v.l.eie
i.e vhfvally “grew up” in the drug
business in Americus. He was con
nected with the Prather-Ansley store
for several years as manager, and
left it only last winter when Dr. W.
S. Prather purchased the Americus
Drug company, taking the manage
ment of the new store.
Dr. Murray stated Saturday that
he is happy at last, having r-.alized
his one ambition—to be the owner
of a drug store in his home city
where he can conduct the business
exactly as he thinks it ought to be
conducted. The store will have two
registered graduate pharmacists, him
self and Geore H. Taylor, and spec
ial attention will be given to pre
scriptions.

with bare hand; rub very hard; don’t I
use too much and wipe it oft well and !,
your bag will look nice.

PLAINS GIRL BRIDE OF
EX-SOLDIER AT SOUTHER
PLAINS, Aug. 30. —The mar
riage of Miss Georgia Frances Wise
and Fred E. Staats, which took
place at Shiloh Wednesday, is of
interest to the people in this com

nearly all her life, and has a large
family connection in the community.
She was graduated from Plains High
school in 1917, and since that time
has been attending a business school
in Americus. She has many friends
and is an attractive young lady. It
was during l - her stay in Americus
that she met Mr. Staats, who was a
soldier at Souther Field. The young

EVERYTHING YOU BUY TODAY IS HIGHER
THAN IT EVER WAS BEFORE, EXCEPT
Recharging Batteries
1 hat price is and will remain right where it was before the
war; right where it was during the war. The labor we put
into repairing batteries costs more now. The repair parts
cost more. The electrical current costs more. Tbe natural
question for you to ask is: “How can you do it and main
tain the same service.” And our answer is simple and con
vincing to any business man —THROUGH VOLUME.
We are recharging—we are prepared to recharge— more
batteries than ever before; more batteries than any other
battery station in South Georgia. Because of volume
you get the SAME efficient service, the same first-class
material—and at no increased cost.

A Neat Bale Gets the
Money
HAY is bringing a snug price today.
The market is exceptionally attractive
to the man whose hay is neatly, compactly baled.
Baled with an International Hay Press it can be
shipped right and arrives in prime condition.
To bale from 6to 10 tons a day of ten hours,
use the International one-horse press. From
10 to 15 tons a day, one of the three sizes of two
horse presses will handle your crop nicely. The
L one-horse and two-horse presses are similar in
general construction. They are equipped with
'/ the same toggle joint, same type of plunger
! head, roller tucker, bale tension, hopper and feed
>4 table. k , T
An International motor press will average from 12 to
20 tons per day. It is fast, convenient and substantial.
You can quickly disconnect its 6-H. P. kerosene engine
from the bale chamber and use it as a portable power
plant.
Many hay growers desire a machine of even bigger
capacity which can be profitably employed for custom
work. The International power press is built to answer
this need. From 20 to 30 tons per day can be baled,
depending on the way the hay is placed for the self
feeder.
With International hay presses goes International
service. This is a constant, prompt, intelligent service
that insures the uninterrupted operation of the press.
A visit from you will give us an opportunity to discuss
your particular needs and point out the special features
of the machine that will best serve them. _ 4
