We think it can. • Commencing Thursday, Jan. 3, '99, this:store will close at six o'clock shaltp every evening except Saturday e Of course some people will say that we cannot make ita success but we have found that we never have. adopted more modern and .ub-to-date methods of doing business but that the people were with us and we have every confidence that they will be in this. We don't intend to lose any business by early closing. January andFebruary sales are going to be just as big as if we kept open every day until midnight. We're going to make it pay you `well to do your buying before sii o'clock and to help us make this movement a success. Watch next week's paper for full announcement of our January early closing sale, a rule which we have had, in view for some time and which we promise you will be a money saving event for the Dry doods and Clothing buyers of Clinton and vicinity.
