To the People of Dallas and Vicinity:
IF YOU ONLY STOP to think for one moment on the subject you will readily agree with me that the pres
ent age is an age of SPECIALIZING. No one can do several different things at the same time and do
them successfully. It is the one that specializes in one certain thing that accomplishes his object with cer
tainty and perfection.
NOW WE COME TO THE POINT: Everyone knows, "and those that don't know, I beg leave to inform you"
that I specialize in Men's and Boys' ready-to-wear apparel, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Furnishings. I handle no side
lines. I devote my time and energy to these lines exclusively. I study the tastes of Men, the fact is I have
made this my life study. My many years experience in these lines enables me to serve you the way you like to
be served. Now the question is when you have trouble with your eyes don't you go to an Eye Specialist? When
you want to buy hardware, don't you go to a Hardware store? When you want to buy an' automobile where do
you go? To a Grocery store? No! To an Auto' dealer. Well, the answer is simple. When in need of Men's
or Boy's Wearing Apparel
Get the Benefit of Twenty Vears Experience. . The Largest Stock, the Largest Variety and the Most Up-to-date Styles
Our Clothing Department is a revel
ation whether your tastes run to the ex
treme or more sedate. We can please
you whether you are built regular,
short, stout, tall or slim; we can fit you
and we can suit every purse.
Man's Suits from $10.00 to $25.00.
Young Men's Suits from $7.50 to $15.00.
Boy's Knickerbocker Suits $3 to $6.00.
Boy's Juvenile Suits for little Tots $2.50 to $5
and every suit guaranteed as represent
ed or your money cheerfully refunded.
Whether you are in need of a Pair of Hose, a Tie, a'
Hat or a Suit of Clothes you will undoubtedly find it
to your advantage to look over our stock.
Our Furnishing Goods Stock is beyond the question of a doubt; Everything
that a department of that kind shall be.
Shoes for Papa and Sonny as well. We carry only shoes that we can sell and
be able to tell the buyer, "if they don't wear as they should bring them back and
get another pair FREE," and we mean what we say."
I could talk to you all day on merits and demerits of good merchandising, but
space does not permit me. Newspaper men have a habit of charging a fellow
by the inch for the space, therefore I will say in -conclusion. People! I want
your patronage, or your business, and if you are half as anxious to be pleased as
I am to serve you, the battle is won.
I thank you for past favors and respectfully soliciting your further patronage,
always ready to serve you,
Our Hat Department is the most
complete in town. We have so many
styles that it is almost impossible to
enumerate them. Sufficient to say that
we can suit or fit the most fastidious.
Prices range from $1.50 to $4.00.
We are sole agents for the celebrated
Mallory Cravenette Hats. You know
what they are. We also have a large
variety of Straw and Genuine Panama
Hats for Men, Boys and Children.
It is always a pleasure to show you
through. You are not urged to buy,
unless you are inclined to do so yourself
