Special Invitation
See Our Opening Display
of Silks and Dress Goods
Even if you have no intention of making a
final selection of your new Fall Dress now or
not—don’t miss seeing this opening Display,
You will have a better idea of the style dress
you are going to want—you will know more
about the price you ought to pay—and, what
is even more important, you will know, abso-
lutely, just what styles are to be popular.
We don’t ask or expect you to make a definite choice \
but we do want you to see our collection of new fabric
styles while they are new—while assortments are complete.
uPoute Fabrics
Neber Disappoint
They're Standard
It is a pleasure to display fabrics so uniformly good—so vastly supe-
rior in style, in quality and in service as these? It matters not what
character of fabric you personally favor—if you pick the style from the
LA PORTE LINE you can depend upon it for service and satisfaction. La
Porte fabrics, be they of Silk, Wool or of Cotton, .are Standard—they
never disappoint. -
Come NOW for Practical Ideas
This is the time to investigate and become familiar with Fall Dress
Goods Styles. We hope you can find it convenient to visit our Dress
Goods Section within the next few days. We particularly want you to see
the new creations in plads, checks, stripes and novelties in Taffetas, Pop-
lins and other Silk Fabrics.
Also there are extraordinarily choice styles in all-wool dress goods that
we are sure you will want to see before somebody else picks them.

O formerly used at his gin and will
4 remove them to Sweetwater where
. he expects to operate a gin in the
A future. The gin stands and other
W equipments will remain here for
y the present. The Tidwell gin has
been considered one of the best
and it seems like a great misfortune
0 that it becomes necessary to divide
. the plant. It is hoped that Mr.
Tidwell will find a profitable field
0 in which to operate the business
. for which he seems specially gifted.

W nings was good, and considering

lag done that may be seen in the
future.

The Trades Days Have
Proven Very Profitable
Notwithstanding that elections
were held in each of the voting
precincts of Bosque county on
last Saturday, a large crowd was
present to enjoy the Trades Day
at this place, and also take ad-
vantage of the special offerings
our merchants had for them on
that day.
This closes the series for 1916
and each of them was a decided
success, having been attended
by large numbers who came to
enjoy the entertainment features
as well as to patronize our mer-
chants quite liberally.
We believe these trades days
have been quite beneficial to
all concerned.
