On Saturday, December 14th, we will start a Great Clearing Sale of
Latlies' l�autles and News Overcoats.
We have an immense range of Mantles and Overcoats. All new goods bought this season and for this
season's trade, not for next year's. We do not believe in carrying goods over from season to
season as old fossils do. Everything has to go in its season and in order to clear these lines
out we have -decided to mark them at prices that will put all competitors far in the distance.
We start this sale now in order to give you the benefit of the Bargains when you want the
Goods. This Great Slaughter of Mantles and Overcoats will continue all this month. Come
early and get your pick before the numbers are broken, All Mantles and Coats marked in red
Ink and Plain Figures.
