Emphasizes Our Position

!•» *•
We have good clothing that emphasizes our position as the foremost clothing store
for quality, values, and low prices. Every store to be successful must first earn
the confidence of the public by upright methods so that when a man has need of
anything he thinks at once of that store, and goes there for what he wants.
From the first day in bnsiness we have made it our aim to make every purchaser a satisfied customer, aud • u
growth has proven that the public has appreciated our efforts to give the best for the least.

J. A. Hardin Acquitted.
In district court this week the
case against A. Hardin,
charged with swindling, was
tried by jury and defendant ac-
quitted.
Already the Commercial Club
has under advisement some im-
portant steps looking to the bet-
terment and growth of Snyder.
Some active work is being begun.
There are several tilings (all
of which would result in great
good to Snyder) which the Clnb
is considering, but it also real-
izes that it can not land them all.
It will therefore speializeon
what it considers the most valu-
able project or projects and go
after them in a manner that be-
speaks success.
fU. w. Chandler, of Gail, pass-
ed through Snyder this week in
route home from Dallas. In an
interview with a Da'las News
Reporter, Mr. Chandler says.
“Cotton was practiclly a fail-
ure in our section last year, but
the farmers raised sucli an abun-
dance of corn, milo maize and
Kaffir corn'and feed products
aha" we are far from being
starved out,” said Mr. Chandler.
“New! settlers are pouring
into the country and the price
of iandfis steadily advancing.
Before the end of the year we
expect to get the tirst railroad
to Gail. The Texas Central will
build from Kotar, in Fisher
County, via Snyder. Thomas
Trammell, who owns the 9R
lias offered the road a bonus of
$50,000 in money or eight sec-
tions of land if it will build
through his property.
Gail is near the big ranch
which Col. C. C. Slaughter re-
cently sold to parties who will
cni ii into farm* and place it or
the market. In the cours of a
very few years West Texas wi
have a denser populate»n tli.n

Snyder is destined by location
andnaturaladvantages to become
the business metropolis of this
section of Texas. This fact is
generally recognized, and all
that is necessary to bring about
a realization of this belief is for
the business men and citizens
generally to continue a strong,
systematic effort in making the
town just what it was meant for
it to be. Indications point more
clearly each day to the fact that
this work and these efforts will
not be lessened. Let’s all work
for a Greater Snyder.
A party of cotton oil men,
composed of George T. Pack-
house of Dallas, Southwestern
representative of the Buckeye
Iron and Brass Works of Day-
ton, Ohio, and M. B. Wilson of
Lockhart, C, F. Heidenrich of
Kyle, D. C. Johnson and George
T, McGehee of San Marcos,were
hero last Saturday inspecting
the cotton oil mill
These men are interested in
the building of new cotton oil
mills at Kyle and San Marcos
and were here to gain informa-
tion as to machinery and equip-
ment for an up to date mill.
They left on the afternoon
train for the East, after having
expressed themselves as highly
pleased with what they saw and
with the Snyder oil mill.

DIMES MAKE DOLLARS
If more people would give that little sentence their careful
consideration, there would be more well to do people. Most of
them say, “what does a dime amount to” and they let it slip
away from them.
* »
It only takes a few dimes to make a dollar; a few dollars
makes a hundred and a few hundred a thousand. A few thousand
will place you in an enviable condition of independence.
Begin on the dimes and you will be surprised to find ho
soon the larger auiounrs grow. Every time you feel like wastin
a dime deposit it with us and your dollars will be assured.

actreas at tliat. Her father was
a member of the House, and she
was sitting by him when the
vote was taken- Ho was unde-
cided and asked how she would
vote She replied, “I would vote
against it; woman’s place ia at
home.” Her father voted against
it. The vote stood 58 against,
57 for it. This one vote settled
woman’s suffrage in Kansas, for
for the present at least.—Blum
