Business is good with us, but our
-ambition is not satisfied. We want to
do more. WE WANT YOURTRADE.
We are doing our utmost to merit it.
Last spring we gathered together the
best stock that experience, energy and
cash could gather. We marked the
sellitig prices as close as possible, mak-
dng allowance of course for expenses,
and something for ourselves, not very
mueb, because our turnover is large
and a little on the whole does for us.
But pow that the Spring season is
past and summer is here, we are wil-
ling to pert, with a great many lines in
different departments at just what,
they cost us and in some cases con-
siderably less than cost. These de-
partments are especially interesting:—
MI LL1N ERY.—In order to make
a clean sweep we are tvilling to drop a
lit tie money, and will sell Hats &ming
