BRoviNve Gigantic and Unrivalled Suit, Coat and Skirt Sale COMMENCES Fridag Morning,March 19 Biggest Bargain Festival Clinton Has Ever Known. Prices cut with terrific severity to make this the most extraordinary mercantile event in Clinton. We have crowded the ready-to-wear section with the mightiest bargains, the best values, the biggest surprises, the most tempting inducements ever announced by any reliable store. Evergarment vividly A ' - Y proves this assertion. In the making of trade history the status of this most significant of sales may be measured by the successes of the past and the strength of the present event. We have a reputation to maintain, a distinct purpose to fulfill —the rights of the purchasing public are paramount ---and so this announcement is made after weeks of prepara- tion with enthusiastic energy, with a resistless determination to totally over -shadow every big sale any store has ever announced or can ever possibly announce in this town, Planned on the broadest basis, reared upon the soundest of foundations and reaching out into all parts of the world for reliable materials and selling at prices so low that all competition is left completely behind, is the great secret of the tremendous success of these sales. We herald the event of the year 1915 with a sale such as promises to electrify the shopping public especially those watching the wonderfully rapid growth of the Brown stores, If ever there was a time when this store's price tickets called louder to shrewd buyers than newspaper talk ever did, this is the time ; and why ? here is the answer, spring merchandise shipped between December 15th and March 1st is dated 1st April 10 days, consequently is due and payable not later than April 14th to secure best discount. In marking the price tickets for this sale profit, discount, running expenses and in many cases a goodly portion of the net cost has been eliminated, in fact you.can secure any suit, coat or skirt for less than we have to pay for sane, Everything you buy at this sale will carry with it this store's guarantee of quality; Everything must be as valuable to you as the money you pay for it or we'll take it back. 75 Separate Skirts to Choose From.
