Seed Potatoes Have Arrived.
'■y.. i i
The Mesquite Go-operative Company
received this week two carloads of
genuine Triumph seed potatoes, each
car containing about 500 bushels, and
we have &n option on another car if
•ceded later on. We desire all who
want potatoes to come and get them
out of the way how. They will not be
any cheaper, but on the contrary the
• market will be higher on seed pota-
toes than it is now7. We beg to say to
our customers and the public gener-
ally that these are the Finest Pota-
toes We Ever Saw, and we guaran-
tee them to be *sure enough pure
Tennessee Triumphs.
Onion Sets and Garden Seed—As
stated before in these columns, we
have bought Landreth’s and Ferry’s
seed in bulk, including seed corn and
all kinds of turnip seed. In fact there
is nothing in the seed line that this
country requires that we have not got,
and all you have to do is to visit our
grocery department and make your
selections and we advise that you do
this early, because early plantings of
potatoes and early gardens do best
here in,Texas. Everybody knows the
value of a good garden and good pota.-
'-topatches of both kinds. These help
to keep the grocery bill down and that
is what all ought to strive to do, and
we advise this notwithstanding we are
large sellers of all kinds of groceries.
Seed O^ts and Cotton Seed—We
: have on'hand quite a lot of very fine
rand select cotton seed and about 1,500
* bushels of se^d oats, both of which
we are offering at reasonable prices to
farmers who want the best. A irntch
of oats will come in mighty handy and
high’ w,hea
v^ cmsiam tjie faet that we mac\S a
fairly good c:v|5 of C,orn hjatfyear.
Honey—We V&ve yust received 10
cases of the very best honey, and
Uncle Nat Holley says that this lot is
the sweetest we have ever had, and if
you don’t want anything as sweet as
honey, we have plenty of all kinds of
molasses in both barrels and buckets,
including fine maple syrup which will
make you exclaim, yum! yum! when
you eat it with hot biscuits. Our stock
of general groceries, both fancy and
staple, is now the best and most com-
plete we have ever had. We are head*,
quarters for all kinds of flour, corn
meal, chops, bran, cotton seed mpal
and hul^ls.

We have just received and are offering 100 pieces of Red
Seal ginghams direct from the mill that made them. Tha c
ginhams are folded in book form somewhat as shown in the
above cut and are given up to be the best ginghams ever
turned out in the United States. The colors are absolutely
fast^and the weave is the best and most even turned out by
a mill.

and the place to get first-class shoes is at the Mesquite Co-
operative Company’s.
THE MESQUITE CO-OPEATIVE (S
Millinery Department.
We are proud of this department be-
cause it is right up to now in all ap-
^fjointments, and the beauty of it is we
have most any and every thing you want
ready to take right along home with
you but should you not be suited with
th^ goods already made up we will
take your order aud make just exact-
ly what you want. If you want a liat
we can build it for you, putting on
just what you want, and leaving off
what you do not want. If you cannot
be suited in the ready made skirts or
suits you can select the cloth to your
liking and we will make you precise-
ly what you want and trim the same
according to your notion. And wc es-
pecially invite the ladies who come to
Mesquite, whether they want to trade
or not, to make our millinery depart-
ment their headquarters. You will
always find a hearty welcome, and we
have installed a desk telephone in our
millinery department for the benoilt
or our lady customers and callers.
You can call up your friends any-
where and talk to them without being
heard or molested by outside people,
and if you want to write lottcrrt while
wating for the train you will find
plenty of stationery and a riue desk
for your accommodation.
New Basket System -Wc have re-
cently arranged to put in our store, a
complete carrier and check system
similar to that used by the city stores.
Our business is so largo that it was
proper to do this in order to have a
comnl^e check on our business in all
depa ntou We ' +■» have- Jtliis
systomn days or
sooner. Thou when you purchase
anything your goods will go to the
wrapping counter and be wrapped
and'd * •fired. This will insure every
customer getting exactly what they
buy and there will be no dispute about'
accounts, and prices will be uniform
i and no-goods will get out of the house
without being paid for or charged. We
want to do a clean, safe business and
supply the people with just what they
want at prices as low or a little lower
than those prevailing at other towns.
Wc are not going to handle anything
but the bes4t goods and we want to ed-
ucate our customers up to the point
of buying first-class,1 dependable mer-
chandise all the time, which will do
them good, rather than selling cheap
and shoddy stuff at any price.
