Business in this store is always good—good rea-
sons for it and gond goods is one them. January is us-
ually counted as a dull month, hut, with us, business has
been way above the average, .except in stocks dependent
p p _
upon the weather --winter goods and heavy -weights --
most of them should have been out of the store long ago.
They would have been but for a backward winter and
the interruptions of satisfying holiday trade. As a bus-
iness proposition, they must go—to carry them over is to
lose money—you don't want that,we are of too much use
in this community But go they must and the only way
is to give up all idea of snaking Cooney, open wide the .
throttle and hurry things straight for spring.
Thus influenced, fairly away from the fascination
of the holidays, n e have shut our eyes to profits for you
in every Heavy -weight and Winter Thing in the store'

tight or not, it's pleasant to have a dollar .buy 'most a
much es it will ordinary days of trade --pleasant for you
to be sure, and for us, too, --we like to see our customers
happy and we really want the goods to go.
So, the greatest good cheer is all over the store --
the aftermathof a happy holiday time and we are mak-
ing a friend a minute if not a dollar a day.
