means 100 threads to the square inch. More
than that it means the shirts are durable, that
they look “quality”, that they have none of

the “count” is the test of a good shirt, which
looks better instead of worse after the first

When you want the finest CANDIES in the
world, REMEMBER, this is the place to find them.
We are agents for the Matchless King's and Nylo
chocolates. The assortment is ample, including
a variety of nut tops and centers, creamy centers,
fruit centers, etc., and the price varies according
to size of package but the purity does not.
No one wants impure candies and the surest
• way to avoid them is to buy from us. You MAY
find pure candies elsewhere, but we KNOW that
you will find ONLY that kind here. “King’s”
and “Nylo” stand for all that’s pure and excellent
in chocolate candy.
We get our candy in small, frequent shipments,
insuring a supply that is always FRESH.
