THE WiNG.HAM TIMES, AUGUST 13, 1
This "ad." is all about Dress Goods. It's been a wonder-
ful Dress Goods season with us. Sold more goods—made
more new customers—more friends than during any previous
year. We're continually planing, and one of our plans ttow is
to get rid of all our Sinniner Dress Goods at their present
worth. This is the time when we "Let Go." Every piece of
light colored Dress Goods will be marked at prices that will
clear them during the next ten days.
5 pieces Satin Soliel well finished, pretty effects in awns and greens, sold
every place at 50c., but our price to Clear is Oc.
7 pines Henrietta Cloth 44 inches wide, god s ades in garnet, fawn and
green, worth from 50 to 60c. will be s d or 30e.
8 pieces special of Congo black Dress Goo Those goods are fast colors
al.d will not stain with acid, d le fold, neat brocade patterns,
marked down to 30c.
In the above lot there are,20 pieces and such values we
have never attempted before. It will do yoregood to see
these goods and even if yoa do not want to buy them, it
will be a chance to test the worth of our "ads."
COTTON 'DRESS GOODS.
A general reduction in all lines of summer Dress Goods, including
Prints, Zephyrs, Duck, Crinkles, etc. These goods are the newest
materials and up-to,date patterns, some of them are worth 14,14,
15, 18 and 20c. a yard, but we now make a "Big Cut" and you
may have your choice for
CENTS PER YARD.
We've made a study of this clearing problem. It's clear to us to sell
—we hope to make it clear to you to buy. We have put our conscience in
this as in all other dealings with the people, and the growth of this business
isproof that it wins every time.
NEW G-OODS EVERY SEASON.
