Right
Expect Greater Valw
At Perkins' Store
Many times the word VALUE is misinterpreted when applied to
merchandise. Value is of times associated with the word bargain, and
it is true that both terms are closely related but differ widely in applica-
tion. A BARGAIN is that which represents a most unusual value and in
most case* can be applied legitimately on merchandise of an inferior
quality, and refers mostly to the lowness of price. VALUE is an everyday
reference to that which possesses a quality of unquestionable character
and made a value because of the reasonableness of price. Value giving at
this store is not measured simply by price. The value of Perkins' merchan-
dise is determined by the quality and the practicability of such mer-
chandise—for instance, this store could offer you merchandise that in a
way did not fill your practical needs at a price that made this merchandise
a very wonderful bargain from a standpoint of quality, yet would not
prove the utmost in alue for you, it is therefore our effort at all times to
supply our customers with practical, sensible merchandise of the very
best character that is most applicable in meeting their demands at such
prices that tend to increase the value to the customer. You, therefore,
have a right to expect greater value at a PEKKINS STORE.

I _ Good raods spell prosperity

amount of extra taxation invol-
vea is not worthy of consid-
, ?la^ion spread out as it always
is over so many years.

unity were to get an lm.pira-
•ion from what tli-e southern
counties and states are doing
and liegin work for local road
improvement.

local authorities to ask a half
i dozen of the most intelligent
and interested citizen- to act
as a Planning Commission whose
dut.v it shall be to sludy the
local situation and lay plans
and make recommendations for
road improvements. Once the
people see what improved strrets
will do for them and learn how
tliey can be financed with alight
burden they will get behind the

ON THIN ICE
A charming but different
young woman was seated next
to a bishop at a dinner party
one evening^ It was the first
time she had been so close to
such a dignitary and it para-
lyzed her tongue. The continued
si.ence became most embarrass
ing to her.
At last some fruit was pass-
ed and she snatched at the
chance to say something to him.
"Are you fond of
she asked him.
The dear old prelate, a
deaf, thought she said paja
and, after thinking for
ment, replied: "Since you
asked me, 1 will frankly I
that I much 'prefer the^
fashioned nightshirt,
