Last ends and remnants of spring and summer stocks are gathered together and cleared out at prices that make this the greatest money. saving chance of the season. Not often do we advertise to sell goods without a profit or below cost, but there are times when we are money in pocket to. take cost or even less than cost for goods rather than carry them over. This is the reason for these Annual Bargain Sales. They have been a marked success in the past and the list we have prepared for this season should bring us all the business we can handle for Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. July 26th, 28th, 29th. There has been no juggling with prices or values, no placing of high or ficticious values on any line in order to make the bargain appear bigger than it really is. Every item is a plain statement of what the goods are like, what they sold for and what we are prepared to take for them on Bargain Days. Come 'Saturday, Come Monday, Come Tuesday, Come looking for Bargains. We will not disappoint you.
