THE CLIFTON NEW ERA
A Better
Store.
We are always aiming and striving to make this
a better store for you to shop in. The changes and
alterations now in progress are being rnade with this
e ld in view, and when they are completed this will be
a better and more &convenient store to shop in than
ever before. Come in any time you are up town and
see what we have been doing and learn what we are
going to do yet, for there is more to follow.
Fall goods are coming along almost every day
now, many lines are already in and you'll find much
to interest you outside of the improvements to the
store.
1211c DRESS GOODS 12ic j
Our dress goods shelving has been reduced exactly one-
fifth by the alterations. Where we formerly bad five shelves
we now have but four. Stocks will go into the reduced space
with the exception of about 500 yards of plain and fancy ma-
terials. These we have no room for. We cannot leave them
on the counters, there is no room for them. We cannot store
them away, that would be foolishness. The only thing left
to do is to put a price on them that will sell them at once.
This is what we have donetrd on Saturday place the entire
lot. on sale at the ridiculongy low price of 124'.0 per yard.
500 yards of plain and fancy mitered dress good, mostly all wool goads, last
ends and odd linesof meteriale, that sold at 503 to 75e. These are suitable
for ohildren'e dresses, a.nd wrappers,while some would make excellent quiet
linings. We have all the dress goods goods in the shelyes that they will
hold so have to get rid of there in some way. To do it quickly we will g
