CLOT INC SPECIALSL
The special feature of interest to clothing buyers in and around
Seaforth cluring January will undoubtedly be our Special Sale which
we purpose holding during the month of January, 1899. We have
deemed it appropriate and at the same time likely to prove an in-
ducement to shrewd buyers, to give our customers the chance of ob-
taining a beautiful
Oak Bedroom Scut entirely Free of Cost.
The manner of bestowing the suite is as follows : to every pur-
chaser of a suit of clothes we will give the privilege of one guess az
any number between 2,000 and. 4,000. These numbers will all be
placed in a box and well shaken up, then one will be withdrawn by
some disinterested person, who will place the number withdrawn in
an envelope, when it will be opened and the person in possession of
the correct number or the number nearest to it will be entitled to
the suite. It need not be a question with any one why we do this
or how we Dau afford to make this outlay, as a matter of fact that
is our business and we may be depended upon to look well to our
own welfare on this as on every other occasion.
To make ourselves more clearly understood in this matter, we
have simply to state that it appears to us that our stock is slightly
heavier than we deem advisable for this season of the year, and so
we have decided to clear at prices which cannot fail to move the
trend of clothing buyers in oar direction. Special prices have done
this before and will do the same again. What those special prices
will mean, aucl the saving that will follow in the wake thereof, the
following quotations will give some faint idea of
All the $5.50, $6.00 ancl $6.50 suits will be placed on the
monthly list at the uniquely low figure, $4,83. The $7.00, $7.50
and $8.00 suits will also appear on the saute list at the special price
$5.33. $3.50, $9.00 and $9.50 suits will be priced for the month
at $6.83. $10.00 and $11.00 suits are going to sell for the balance
of the month at $7.33. Thus it will be seen that the prices herein
quoted are altogether out of the beaten paths of ordinary prices. It•
may be further stated that the following quotations for overcoats,
Boys' and Men's, also Boys' Suits, will hold good for the Month :—
Men's $5.50 and $6.00 Overcoats at $4.33 ; Men's $7.00, $7.50
and $8.00 Overcoats at $5.33; Men's $8.50, $9.00 and $9.50 Over-
coats at $6.33 ; Men's $1.00 and $11.00 Overcoats at $7.83.
It may be mentioned in passing that our stock is one which
commands the admiration of every person who finds it necessary to
give clue consideration to variety, quality and price. Of course there
are people who will say in their minds, "what an amount of wind
those people are given to wasting," however, we are not holding
ourselves responsible for what people think. It only remains for us
to state our aim and object in the matter of so much talk and leave
the rest with the good sense of those who have been our customers
in the past, and who have seen fit to stand by us through thiel: and
thin. To the class we have referred to, we can only express our
heartfelt thanks, and trust that all may be as well between us and
them in our business relations in the future as it has been in the
past. So now in concluding our remarks for this week we assure
our many friends of our best wishes for their welfare as well as of
our earnest desire to minister to their clothing wants, to the fullest
of our ability.
