WINNSBORO WEEKLY NEWS PEC., 18, 1924.
Come to the Big Sale of the
J. B. ROBERTS
General Store Stock
SMALL AVIATOR COM-
ING TO THE BIG SALE
TWO AIR NAVIGATORS TO MAKE ASCENSIONS DURING
OPENING DAY OF THE BIG SALE
One of the cutest little fellows imaginable has been secured
by the Powell Sale System to guide airships oyer the city before
the opening of the big sale this firm is conducting here.
I He is now on his way to this city from Cincinnati, Ohio, and
has the reputation of being the smallest aviator in the country.
If weather conditions permit, he will make his first ascension
from the top of the store about 9:30 a. m., opening day, and when
he sails over the tops of the buildings he will carry in his hand
an order for two excellent prizes which he will hand over to the
first person he meets when he returns from his trip through the
clouds and alights on terra firma.
The airship man is not the o>nly attraction that has been se-
cured by the Powell System to let the people know about the Big
Sale, and after the airship trip another gentleman, carrying an
order for prizes, will make an' ascension in a balloon from the
roof of the building. His particular thriller will be a parachute
leap when his balloon is high above, and when he comes down
he will come with the order held tightly iii his right hand, to fork
over to the first person who reaches his side and aids him to his
feet. _ p _ -
BotK of these aviators are mechanical 'devices, but are highly
interesting little fellows and worth coming miles to see.
REMEMBER THIS TAKES PLACE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19 AT STORE FOR-
MERLY OWNED BY J. B. ROBERTS, NOW MANAGED BY B. W. LAMBERT.
CLOTHING
It is more economical to pay
25.00 or $-">0.00 for a Robinson
quality suit than to pay a few
dollars less for one that will not
serve, and appear so wall. VVe

ment of small size suits at pri-
ces
$14.50 to $18.50
Lots of them with two pairs
of trousers at this price.
—Another big shipment of that
good "never fade" blue serge—
and we carry this serge in regu-
lars, slims, stouts and stub moj
dels.

ARE YOU TIRED, ACHY
ALL RUN DOWN?
This Winnsboro resident tells
you how to get well.
Tired all the time? Lame,
stiff and achy? Tortured with
nagging backache? Knife-like
twinges when you stoop or
life? Miserable with headaches
dizzy spells and bladder irreg-
ularities? All are signs of kid-
ney sickness! Use Doan's
Pills—a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys.
Here's Winnsboro testimony.
W. T. Johnson, partner in
blacksmith shop, S. Walnut St.,
says: "I had a steady heavy
ache in the small of my back.
Mornings the muscles in my
back were lame and stiff. I felt
! tired and my kidneys acted too
i often especially during the ni-
ght. However, Doan's Pills from
Fowler's Drug Store stopped
i the backache and regulated my
kidneys.
