If We Don’t Put it On, We Don’t Have to Take It Off! SPEAKING OF GENERAL CLEARANCE SALES. WE DO NOT HOLD SUCH SALES. Intead we clear out all odds and ends week by week, just put a price o n such articles and let them move out. If we conducted our business and regulated our buying by guess, we probably would have to hold big clearance sales and our customers would have to pay the losses. That isn’t the case. We know how to buy, when to buy, how much to buy and what to buy, and as a consequence don’t “soak” you at the heighth of the season and then cut the regular price at the end of the season. This store plays the game square’ the whole year—Jan. to Dec. The “no Sale way” is the fair play way of doing business HILLIARD & HAMILL’S “No Clearance Sale’’ Way Saves You Money Every Day. 1 WB 11R " EIH Largest Clothing''Store in Jasper County.

Subscribe for The Democrat. _____ Z - Automobiles - January 13, 1920. Dear Sir —The Essex combines the appeal of qualities heretofore not obtainable in any automobile type. - t It has, lightweight advantages such as moderate price, low upkeep, and operation costs. But it also has such large car qualities as endurance, riding ease, power, speed and flexibility of 'performance. No car its weight is at all comparable in the finer qualities to Essex. That is why those who know Essex are compelled to refer to large, high-priced cars, When describing its performance. And see how Essex has proved endurance. Many owners have driven their Essex cars 18,000 to 25,000 miles without a single repair item. Do you know of any other lightweight car of which that can be said? The Essex Sed<an is particularly favored by the growing number who prefer an enclosed car for all seasons. The Roadster is the latest additidn to the Essex family. It is first choice with many who use an automobile much im business, and is equipped with a special rear deck arrangement, which permits the carrying of sample casds or a trunk, unseenCome and see the Essex, or let us call for you at your convenience. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.
