Jersey St, l'honc Columbia 2 BONHAM & CURRIER The Store That Cares For You EVERYTHING FOR MEN TO WEAR Dry Goods and Shoes for Everybody itif CKtCAi Hosiery Hosiery Ih the meat of any store the character of ours: it may not be believable by you that we carry regular stock that aggregates $a,000.00 but it is true. The hos iery business has grown from one nnd two do.en purchases at a lime to case lots of .iixty dozen bought direct from the manufacturer in most lines. We cannot afford to buy other than the very best obtainable that we can sell at a moderate price. And we have gone Into the high er grades of .silk which we sell for S2.H0 and 3 00 per pair; just the I.udica' line iu these qualities. Misses' and Chiidrens Shoes In December we received a delay ed shipment of little shoes that wete bought last April. These have not been marked at what they would cost now but we give you the ad vantage of the early purchase. It Is true they are high but not so high by at least 20 as they would be If purchased on the full market. We have lots of them and they arc made by a factory making only small shoes and they know how to make them to fit and to wear well. Buttenck Patterns Ham the high salary yourself. The Uutterick patterns will aid you in making the clothing for your own family. When you buy n jxitteru u-u have paid the designer nnd the IMjx-r and the labor that goes into the pattern. When you buy a ready tiimle garment, just follow up the process It goes through before you get It. And you know the cus tomer always pays. SPECIALS Bntli Robe Cloth 75 reduced to 53? Misses and Children's Dresses A off Small Children's Sweaters reduced 25' The dresses were nndcrpriccd to begin with and when we make this 25 reduct ion it gives you a garment nt a very reasonable price. The Sweaters are the quality sort, the reduction quoted means that you get a $3.50 sweater for $2.63 This firm does not coax you to buy anything from us that you can obtain elsewhere at a better price. We do not urge you to buy anything you cannot make use of. In all our lines we fight for merchandise that will give our customers full value. We depend upon volume for profit. The stocks all around every where are low. The Spring ar rivals will be coming soon; any thing that you can buy, that is anything that you need to buy can be better bought now than before the Spring arrivals. This applies in greater force to Men's and Boy's Clothing. Do not buy a suit that you do not need but if you will need one soon you can save $10.00 on a man's suit by buying from the stock now on hand. Men's SocRs The manner in which the men's socks melt away at our store Is the best advertising we have. We con trol the agency, for Interwoven and I3est Knit. 'Hicse lines are so well known the factory sells by allot ment instead of letting us buy all we will. The demand Is constantly ahead of the output. When you can get it hat soaking wet half a dozen times and it still holds its shape it is a test; that's the Mallory REGAL S11032S Cotlmin The name of Regnlk.L tlx Mo. j of a brand of shoes that was orig inated years ago in n very small factory Keeping the quality up has been the slogan and it has built the bus iness to one of thousands of pairs daily output. There are no extreme styles to pay for when you buy Regal. It Is just a conservative well made de pendable line of shoes. Fit well, look well, wear well. L. E.
