O
WITII the kind consent of our landlady, Mrs. Jordan,
we are permitted to go on and dispose of the balance
lIf our stock. We have asked for a short time only, so that
the balance of the stock will have to be sold as quickly as
possible. We seemed to be rather unfortunate at the first of
this "Big Selling -out Quit -business Sale." A great many
people thought that such a thing was 'impossible. Some
people started a rumor that it was only a fluff to get rid of all
our odds and ends. Others thought that we didn't have
much goods left and that there would be very little choice.
Permit us to say that our stock is very heavy, amount-
ing to about $9000. It is true that some of our lines are
broken, but the goods were all bought within the last two
years, so there is no oleo stock in the store.
It is hardly necessary for us to state again that as far
as I Ir. Cameron is concerned this business will be wound up,
as he is positively leaving the town.
I f you want to get Bargains in Spring Dress Goods,
New Spring Millinery, Whitewear, or in Men's and Boys'
Clothing, come right away. The opportunity may never he
yours again.
