The man who buys clothes merely for the sake of decency—to
cover his body—can find what he wants at most any store. 1*
The man who wants style, fit and wearing quality will find what *
he wants at the DEPENDON STORE. There's a lot of difference *
between average clothes and the kind we sell You’ll agree with us if ♦
you take the pains to look. J
Good Clothes—if you know where to buy them—do not cost any +
more than the ordinary kind. You are cordially invited to prove this %
to your own satisfaction by a visit to the DEPENDON STORE.

ing all their time and attention to
their new enterprose. We are inform
ed that they have leased some land
near Graham that ceased to produce"
clops some years ago. but these In-
dustrious gentlemen ar^ so full of
life, enthusiasm and energy that
they think they can Impart some of
these qualities to thi# tract of der-
mqnt ground, thereby restoring it to
^s aopcuutomed fertility. By the aid ~
of their superior knowledge and
skill ih the modern agricultural me-
thods they hope to supply the tnarJ

Dallas with all the garden products
needed.

hope of all concerned that the
company will be successful. One fea- ,
ture about tthe company that makes
us believe It will be successful la
that the president wlji superintend
the work himself and that the di-
rector of labor will do all the work.
