The “Dependon" Store
“Dependon” on any article means quality. It’s like “Sterling” or “1847” on Silver. When we adopted this
name for our store we resolved that we would live up to it by not allowing anything on our shelves that
could not bear t\ie “Dependon” label.

you the truth — nothing misrepresented.
We had rather miss a few sales and haye
your friendship than to sell you something
that was not worth the money. A “Depend-
on” store Is a money-back store if goods
are not as represented. Your shopping
will be pleasant and profitable if done it

and opinions xHffer as to what the
final outcome will be, but Just at
* .present the concensus of opinion ns
we gather it In Graham, is that
the minister will either get an ac-
quittal or else there will be a hung
Jury.
Many experts have been examin-
ed and as experts usually do, they
have disagreed as to.whether the
anonymous letters were written by
Norris or by others. Much bitter
feeling has been shown to >e*ist
against the minister among such
mea as Clarence Ousley, editor of
the Record, Charley Dickinson, May-
or Bill Davis and others and it will
be hard for a Jury to determine
