OUR. TRADING ADVANTAGES
There is no question in the mind of anyone conversent with current events and situations throughout West
Texas that Dublin is not in the lead in commercial importance ofevery town west of Waco on the Central
Railroad, and between Ft. Worth and Brownwood on the Frisco. Our enterprises are greater and more
varied, the stocks of our merchants are heavier andjthere are many more merchants and the competition is
therefore keener. There is scarcely a line of indup&y in Texas not represented creditably in Dublin. An-
ticipating the good price of cotton and the resulting extra demand for more and better goods our merchants
have bought heavier than usual and these goods of course must find a buyer.
