Well Bought is Half Sold. Upon these four words depends mercantile success or failure more than upon all the rest of the dry goods laws combined. The business is buying and selling, and if the goods are well bought, the selling is an easy matter. During the Spring and. Summer of 1900, we expect the easiest selling we ever experi- enced in our business career, because we bought our goods right Everyone now knows about the great advance in the p -rice of silk, wool, cotton, linen, boots, shoes, etc. Many months ago we anticipated higher prices, and as far back as July and August of last year we placed large orders for 1900, and now we are selling goods at old prices, which are from 15 to 20 per cent. lower than market value to -day. Don't pay advanced prices; come here, where you have a large assortment to select from, and as cheap as you ever bought them. Custom Work, ... TO WHICH • . . Special Attention will be Given.
