August is usually the quiet-
est month of the year as, far
as the dry goods business is
concerned—the lull between
summer and fall goods, but
we are going to try to make
it livelier this year than usual
by cleaning out during the
month .of August the balance
of our summer goods at greatly
reduced prices. Remember
we do not advertise anything
we will not carry out. It
would not pay us to co so.
When we say we have made a
cut in prices you may depend
upon it THAT A CUT HAS BEEN
MADE, and when we say that
6 '
We are going to sell the
balance of our summer goods
at greatly reduced prices that
is exactly what we are going
to do. We do not affer,you
trash or old bankrupt stocks
but reliable goods, seasonable
goods and cheap goods.
If you ' have a dollar to
spend on dry goods, keep it
until you can see how far it
will go at this clearing sale.
Do not think we axe selling
goods at about half the whole-
sale cost, for we are not, but
'we are se" Bingat from 15 to
40 per cent. less than regular
prices.
Sale w,11 commence on
Saturday, Aug 1st.
