Right Styles, Right Quality at the Right Prices
Is what we are now Showing for Autumn and Fall 1920
"SERVICE” IS THE KEYNOTE OF SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS
The word business embraces every known field of endeavor. A farmer is a business man; the ginner who takes the farmers cotton
and puts it into shape for selling, the buyer, the converter, the wholesaler, the merchant and back again to the originator, the farmer, all
But business is only successful when proper service is given and the word service goes much further than Square Dealing. It means
promptness; carrying out the commission intrusted to us in a speedy "and satisfactory manner; taking care of obligations, delivering mei-
chandise without a moments delay; being courteous; treating all alike from the poorest to the richest. These are the things that are
making this store the best store in Lampasas to trade. The situation is this : Our buyer was in the market eaily, thereroie ail goo s
bought were shipped before the increased freight rate took effect, buying with six other large stores, in quantities and only when styles,
materials and prices were right.. And now every department in the house is in better position to take care of your wants than ever before
The ladies Ready-to-Wear has mercandise that will fit every requirement in a com-
prehensive showing of high grade garments, cloaks, wraps, suits, dresses and mil-
linery, in a range of prices and materials that we will be glad for you to compare
with any competitor. Thousands of dollars are invested herd to make this de-
partment complete, and the big town in Texas or any other town or city m the
Union can not fill your wants to better advantage.
The men’s and boy’s department vie with the ladies section in completeness,
every kind of suit you want from the Juvinile to the conservative men’s three piece
suit is here awaiting your inspection. Men’s and boys shoes, under wear, shirts,
hats, caps and hose by the case lots and dozens.
In womens and childrens shoes, hose, dress goods, notions, staples and knit
goods we are capable of taking care of your every need.
Success is the foundation on which success is built. We have this aim and ob-
ject in this organization and that is with each article sold, from a package of
needles up, our guarantee goes with it. Your money s worth or money back. If
you are a customer of ours, you know this is true, if not a customer, we refer you
to those who are. Yet after all it is only service, the key note of success. Look
here before you buy any item for fall or winter.

The Store Where Most People Trade
BOLD BURGLARY
A bold burglary was committed
Wednesday night at Kempner between
8 and 9 o’clock while the family of
Elmer Murphy was at church. The
thief entered the house and took full
possession of everything in the kitch-
en taking coal oil, potatoes, frying
pan, set of knives and forks, groceries
of all kinds and proceeded to help
himself from the cellar, taking canned
fruits, and thinking he might want
a cup of coffee to steady his nerves,
took the coffee pot along. A nice wa-
termelon was in the refrigerator and
he took that along for immediate use,
and Deputy Sheriff R. E. Poole
found where he had eaten the melon
about three miles east of Kempner.
It was estimated the stuff stolen
would amount to at least $50.00. The
officer tracked the thief to Copperas
Cove, but he had several hours to his
advantage and they gave up the
chase.

I Wednesday afternoon J. H. Kin-
kead, of Oakalla, Burnet county

the E. B. Thomas Gin to gin it, which
'entitles him to the $25.00 premium
offered by the Business League.
Stokes Bros. & Co. bought the cotton,

nell county brought here and ginned by

some splendid improvements made on
it which adds materially to the com-
fort of the place.

The question of “How old is Ann,”
in reference to the governor’s race,
is taking on a comical aspect, since
it has been discovered that both can-
didates have been mistaken as to the
year in which they were born. It
now appears that Bailey was either
born in 1862 or in 1863, and that
Neff was born either of two years,
and they are about a tie on that
score. Some people in Texas will
never know “how old Ann is.”
