A reputation in business is the most precious possession a firm can have. It is prioelees. It cannot be bought. It is acquired, maintained and preserved by satisfying the people. To give this satisfaction is our constant aim. We have during the past week satisfied several customers with our purses and wallets. It is a stook whioh is very com- plete, and was bought with the customer's satisfaction in view. Our lines at 35o and 60o are still favorites. We nave better lines at higher prices just as cheap. Youu:9.y see lower prides advertised,but no better valve. We think you will agree with us that when an article you have bought groves unsatisfactory it is small comfort to con- sider that it cost a little less than one really good. We offer you a variety and assortment ouch as few houses can and assure you of the quality and pride advantage which is a timely consideration. The W. D. FAIR CO, Clinton.

Take for instance our great line of BOYS' SCHOOL PANTS.. We make [them ourselves by the hundreds from good goods, which we buy at half price and they are lined and made up totally different from ordinary Ready-mades. The prices are 50C, 60c, and 75c, and it is astonishing the quantity we sell. Then again we show all the latest styles in • . BOYS' SUITS . . At $2, $3, $4 and $5.

There are hundreds of boys who could wear this coat and save money. Shoe Department An increase of 60 per cent in our September businese,compared to the. same month last year tells its own story. It shows that the public appre- eiate the new way of doing business. When we save 51,000.00 a year in ex- penses there is no excuse for our not selling cheaper. We are now prat- tically under no expense, and are Belling Boots and Shoes cheaper than any other house in the west. good keen buyers will investigate these statements They will save money.

BOYS' HOSIERY . • We are told by good buyers that our stock of Boys' Hosiery is the cheapest goods in tow11. We sell a big quantity, and there must be something in it. Our 25c line is a wonderfully good thing. We also carry the finest lines of CASHMERE in all sizes. We've tried to sell other makes of fine sues which carried more profit. But we find the peo- ple want a makers' guarantee stamped on the sole with the name and fixed price, Now "The Slater" is just that kind of 'a shoe and peo- ple have asked us why they should buy other shoes which they don't know when they might have a guaranteed, price controlled article like the "Slater Shoe" for the same or less money. Because we could'nt answer that question satisfactorily we have put on a sale and will clear out of stock every other make of shoe we have from $3.00 up at whatever price we can get for it. This is to make more room for the shoe the people want—"The Slater Shoe" 1—stamped on sole with makers' nam and price. 'omorrow the sale of nameless shoe begins and this is how we'll sell thorn: (List and particuiars with JACKS O N 13RO., Men's formeand Baia prices.) $4 Goods for $2.50, without doubt the great- est bargain ever' offered in Clinton.
