AND COMPANY
Dry Goods and Groceries, Cot-
ton Buyers and Produce
Dealers. Main Street.
It can be' truthfully said that
this is one of the most com-
plete mercantile establish-
ments in Cumby. The stock,
patronage, everything goes to
show this. This eminent posi-
tion has been attained by car-
rying a first-class stock of
goods, conservative manage-
ment and fair prices, thereby
becoming one of our most pop-
ular trade centers with every-
one. The stock of goods car-
ried in. every line is strictly
practical, and standard. They
were bought by an experienced
buyer, familiar with the wants
boots, shoes, ladies and gents
furnishings are just a few.
Remember that these are car-
ried in all lines and you can
form a faint idea of what you
can find at this establishment.
The line of groceries, sup-
plies, light hardware and gen-
eral merchandise is equally as
extensive and well selectd.
With a store like this in our
midst there is no necessity for
the residents of Cumby am
surrounding country to go or
send to other points for their
supplies of any kind. With
thoroughly responsible mer-
chants here at home, the goods
.open for your inspection be-
fore you buy and the price as
low or lower than those paid
at other points, it is disloyalty
to your town and as foolish as
buying a pig in a poque to
send your money away from
home. No foreign merchant
helps to build your churches or

and needs of people of this sec-
tion. This being the case, the
line of goods in stgck are of
such variety that the wants of
all can be satisfied.
The proprietors of the house
are well content to sell their
goods at a most mederate
prdfit, always and at all times
seeing to it that their custom-
ers get their money’s worth
and that goods in whatever
line are just as represented.
The strict adherence to this
policy is what has given them
the good name. There is no
doubt but what this house has
brought many a dollar to Cum-
by that would otherwise have
gone elsewhere.
It would be a hard task and
take a whole newspaper to give
even a partial list of the hun-
dreds of articles of merchan-
dise to be found in this store.

ity when a misfortune comes
to your community. The home
merchant does. This house is
one of the big trade pullers of
Cumby and it makes but little
difference what you may want
if it is sold in a store, nine
times in ten you will find it
here at prices less than you ex-
pected to pay.
In addition to their large
merchantile business the firm
are our heaviest cotton buyers
and produce dealers. They
are always in the market both
in and out of season. They
want cotton and produce and
will always pay the top of the
market for it.
Messrs Will Lewis, T. C.

Benton compose the firm.

business men and are doing

A leading and modern gen-
eral dry goods establishment in
Cumby is that of Messrs. Bo-
lin and Branom, Main street.
This house has enjoyed a large
and ever increasing trade since
opening. It carries the newest
line of dry goods, clothing,
hats, shoes, ladies’ ready to
wear and notions known to the
trade in this section.
Messrs. Bolin and Branom
have, by hard work and close
attention to details, bailt up
their business to its present
fine proportions. They are
familiarly known among
their friends as the “hustling
dry goods men” in compli-
mentary reference to their ca-
pacity and energetic methods
of infusing life and activity in-
to their business affairs. While
writing up the house the
write up man was impressed
that a good motto for it would
be “Enterprise wins while the
sluggard fails.”
They live squarely up to this
and have found that it paid.
During their business career
in Cumby this firm has been
among the town’s most pro-
gressive and wide awake citi-
zens and have always contri-
buted their shdre of moral and
material aid to the work of
public improvement and the
betterment of the condition of
its citizenship. They have
learned the country and peo-
ple so well that they are able to
buy a stock of goods particu-
larly suitable for the public
whose trade the house enjoys.
Every line in the store is sold
by the people who thoroughly
understand the stock. There
is no misrepresentation, a
child could buy here as well as
the most experienced shopper.
Those who make this house
their trade headquarters have
long since discovered that
there is no necessity for trad-
ing with a catalogue or mail
order house. They can always
find what they want at Bolin
and Branom’s.. This is parti-
cularly the case with the la-
dies.
Messrs. C. W. Bolin and
B. S. Branom compose the
firm. They make it their par-
ticular business to try and
make it pleasant for every vis-
itor who comes to Cumby and
by this means make many
friends not only for them-
j selves, but the town.

Ice, Prompt Delivery Any-
where in Town.
In these days and time a
town without an ice man would
be looked upon as a very poor
town indeed. Cumby is fortu-
nate in having a good one. Mr.
D. H. Green fills the bill here
in Cumby and can deliver you
ice in any desired quantity
here in town. He is also pre-
pared to serve his friends in
the country and is ready to
supply them any amount of the
frozen coolness for picnics,
cream parties and other fes-
tivities. Nothing is healthier
this hot weather than plenty of
cool things. It saves doctor’s
bills and makes the kids and
old folks too, healthier and
happier. Bring something in
which to wrap your ice, paper
is so high it cannot be furnish-
ed. Those dealing with
Mr. Green will find him at all
times most accommodating
and ready to serve them in any
way possible.

among the largest in town,
while the ware rooms and

scale.
In the hardware department

This house is not running a
“Special Sale,” but it is sell-
ing the best of goods at bed-
rock prices and wants your
trade.
Mr. R. W. Harris, the pro-
prietor of this house, is a
gentleman so well known for
his enterprise and untiring ef-
forts to build up the trade of
Cumby and for the betterment
of the surrounding country
that the Cumby Rustler finds
that it is unnecessary to add
anv words of enconium. He is
«- •
a Cumby and Cumby territory
man every time and is always
ready to lend his aid in every
way for its upbuilding and bet-
terment.
A. W. DENTON
AND COMPANY
Dry Goods, and Furnishings.
This is one of the largest, if
not the largest, jnerc’hantile es-
tablishments iii Cumby and in
the scope of business done has
but few equals in this whole
section. The lines carried are
so many that to enumerate
them without attempting to
describe, would be a task be-
yond our space.
As in all large department
dry goods stores, dry goods,
clothing, hats, notions, and
shoes are made leaders with a
thousand and one other artic-
les that go to make up the
stock of a leading firm that
carries the immense trade that
centers at Cumby. A walk
through this big store if for no
other purpose than to inspect
the stock, will prove most in-
teresting. Especially is this
the case in the notion, novelty
and special goods department.
It is the place to go for all of
the very latest in both fabrics
and styles. In the staple lines
of rv goods and dress goods,
you will find the stock com-
plete in both foreign and dem-
estic fabrics. In clothing and
gents furnishings they un-
doubtedly have the largest
stock in town. It will please
your fancy and save you money
to look this stock over.
Ladies ready to wear, waists,
skirts, the handsomest of lin-
gerie, hats and shoes. The
stock is not only full and com-
plete but the firm is offering
scores of exceptional bargains.
The attention of the ladies is
especially called to the splen-
did variety of the assortment
displayed, but* also is the bar-
gain prices to which the goods
are being sold.
This house feels that they
are in a position to defy both
mail order and catalogue
houses in both goods and
prices. R may be stated that
there is no commercial en-
terprise in Cumby that is mak-
ing more effort to build up(the
commercial and financial 'im-
portance of the town than this
firm. They show this in many
wavs.
Mr. A. W. Denton is the
head of the firm and by his
careful management and al-
ways courteous treatment of
the public has added greatly
to the popularity and business
of his firm. He is greatly as
sisted in his efforts by a corps
of most efficient salespeople.
