November 15, 1910.
$)n the 15th of ,June, 1910, the
first coast-wise shipment of east
Texas iron ore left Teexas City
for Philadelphia, in the S. S. F.
J, Luekenbaeh. It consisted of
568 tons and came from Cass
County, on the line of the Jeffer-
son & Northwestern Ry. The
shipment was intended as a test
lot to be tried in a Pennsylvania
blast furnace and was not intend-
ed as the immediate precursor of
other and larger shipments.
The results of the test were so
favorable that contracts involv-
ing 1,000 tons of ore a day can
now be placed in eastern Pennsyl-
vania.
The Texas Iron and Coal Com-
pany, with a capital stock of $5,-
000,000 has been organized by Nev
York, Philadelphia and Texas
people and a permit to transact
business in Texas will shortly be
applied for. This Company has
acquired 52,000 acres of iron ore 7.
lauds in east Texas and proposes
to engage in the business of min-
ing and shipping iron ore on a
large scale.
There are two outlets for this
ore, disregarding such shipments
-is may go by rail to St. Louis or
to the Birmingham district, in
Alabama. Thesa are from the ore
fields by rail to some Gulf port,
Port Arthur, Beaumont (later,)
Bolivar or Texas City, and from
the ore fields to some point on
the Mississippi river, such as
Vieksbiug or Baton Rouge.
It depends to a large degree
upon the railroads contiguous to
the ore districts whether this ore
will go cut through a Texas port
or down the Mississippi river in
stea.ui rs by way of New Orleans.
If the railroads will give a rate
of $L0() a ton to tide-water it is
likely That the greater part of
the ore will go
Texas Gulf port.
this it is likely th:it the traffic
will be diverted from the Texas
Gulf ports and seek an outlet by
way of the Misses |.pi river and
New Orleans. ' \e traffic will
not stand a higher rate than $1.0C
a ton to tide-water, for the ore
must be laid <u wn at Atlantic
ports at a total cost not to exceed
$5.00 a ton.
Th railroad haul to tide-water
does not exceed 325 miles and a

Let us tell you a few facts about our store and some of the things we
are doing to help buyers select the kind of goods that please them and their
friends. .
Nineteen Ten seems certain to be the greatest year in the history of this
store. Thus far, we have sold more goods, month for month than in the cor-
responding months of any previous year.
We frankly confess that our increasing volume of business is due to the
loyalty of our customers. True, we are sparing no effort to give the people of
this country a jewelry store service the best that can be found any place in the
world. But, in spite of our own work, we realize that we owe our business to
the support and kind words of our customers.
Having some rather pecular ideas about conducting a retail business, in
buying goods and selling them, we try to look at it from the standpoint of one
of our customers We buy goods that we feel will please and satisfy you.
That makes the selling easy, because when a merchant has what his costomers
want, he does not have to urge them to buy.
Every article of merchandise that leaves this store is exactly whatljwe
represent it to be. Some of the goods we sell, of course, are not of'the highest
quality that money will buy. for our lines include the low priced medium priced
and expensive jewelry. But in every case we tell the customer what he or she is
buying. There is no chance of deception; no possibility of subsequent] disap-
pointment.
For our fall trade we have assembled here, under one roof, from the
four quarters of the globe, a most interesting stock of Jewelry—beautiful Dia-
monds from Africa; rare gems from Asia and Australia; rings, necklaces and
lockets from Germany and France; other novelties from foreign lands; and the
finest watches in the world (made in the U. S.)—in fact, we can provide you
with anything you wish in Jewelry and you may be sure that the price will
never be greater than the quality of the goods justifies.
Please weigh these facts carefully. Come in and see us, and acquaint
yourself with our goods and our store service. We believe you will find it
both pleasant and profitable to trade at this store.
