Tile Rush For Diamond Dye GreenS
is Marvellous.
Greens in all shades come to stay
for a considerable time. This fact is
fully established by statements in the
most reliable fashion journals, and the
present marvellous rush for the Diamond
Dye Fast Greens confirms the belief �
that greens will be in favor for months
to come.
Econrmical women and girls may now
dye over their soiled. dingy and faded
dresses that they have laid aside, at a
cost of from ten to twenty cents.
The Diamond Dye Fast Greens for
wool, silk or cotton give magnificent re-
sults in lovely, rich and full colors,
equalling the colors produced by the
best professional dyers in Europe.
Owing to the fact that there aro poor
and deceptive package dyes on the mar-
ket, sold by some dealers who prize large
profits above the grand purpose of giv-
ing their customers satisfaction and
value, ladies are warned to beware of all
imitation and soap grease dyes that only

support accorded us. Still there are numbers of people whom we have never had the pleasure of dealing with. and as our motto is " EVER ON -
that end. in view we have resolved to make such a reduction in the prices of all -classes of
AND SHOES, CARPETS AND HOUSE FURNISHINGS.
For GASH or TRADE, as will make the good people open their eyes. We have made up our mind to increase our business by at least $5,000 during the next month. Will you help
us to do so ? It will be to your advantage as well as ours. In fact, more so, as we are sacrificing the most of our profit. Our stock is without doubt the largest and best in the country,
and is replete with all the staples and novelties to be found in the market. Go where you will, you cannot find equal quality for the money we ask. That sounds big does it ? Not any
bigger talk than our goods and prices will warrant. Come and we will easily convince you of that fact.
War news is all the talk now, but war now will take a back seat when people begin to realize the bargains we are going to give them. Below we append a few prices to give you
;.an idea of what we are 4oing to do. Remember this is no bogus advertisement. We mean just what we say. We want to increase our sales $5,000 next month, and we are going to do
it. ' These reductions in prices will only be for CASH or PRODUCE. We cannot book anything at these prices.
