>WELL. TEXAS. DECEMBER 22,
TRADE
HERE ARE A FEW OF THE REASONS WHY.
t
First. You have one of the largest stocks of goods in Central Texas to select from.
y^1 your money s worth and have the satisfaction of knowing that yóur goods are good and the prices right.
Third. This store employs none hut polite and attentive salespeople, and they are under an imperative rule to not try to per-
suade customers against their inclinations, and cause them to buy something they might become dissatisfied with. The policy of
this store is to satisfy its customers as near as possible.
Fourth. The security against errors either for or against you, by the perfect system that this store has, relieves one's mind
of the worry that is often occasioned by the inadequate system in most stores, and makes this a safe and easy store to trade at.
Fifth. Til is store provides for the comforts of its customers and you can find no lower prices nor better store service in the
state than here. A five-year-old child can buy goods at this store as cheaply as a forty-year-old man, as there is but one price to all.
These are not all of the reasons why, but with these facts before you, dont you think we are perfectly justified in saying that
IT PAYS TO TRADE AT COBB'S.
Ctinac °ur Shoe Department is a regular shoe store within itself, the largest department in our big store
OhUCOi and one of the largest within a radius of one hundred miles of Caldwell. The prices on shoes have
advanced, and the dealer who depends on the hand-to-mouth process in buying is "left out in the cold"
so far as competing with the fellow who bought all the shoes he would need for the season is concerned. We bought
early and heavy and we are absolutely "fixed" to sell shoes at old prices, and we are doing it. To prove the truthful-
ness of this statement, we will quote you prices on some numbers of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co.'s boots and shoes, on
which the biggest advances are made. See if you can find any advance in these prices, and then see if you can dupli-
If you can't, then we are entitled to your shoe business.
