b fig m M. f We do some things for the sake of your goodwill. The whole conduct of business here is based on enlarging your good opinion of the Store and bringing you twice as often. We sell cheapest just now in order to clear out the balance of Summer Goods, and we're not not so anxious after profit but we can afford to surprise you with better values than you expect. Odd lines in Men‘s Women's and Children 's Shoes at half price. Big reductions in n11 lines. Canons, art goods. linens, draper- ies, prints and sateens all reduced to cost prices. Sheetings, Bed-spreads and Cut-cg tains away down in price. z Our Stock of Malina, Gingham: and Lawns reduced from 20 to so per cent to clear. AUGUST used to be a dull month, but we maintain the stimulating busy days by crowding prices down and goods out all over the Store. We cant afford to rest on our oars because it is midsummer. It's a time for bargains and you will get the benefit of such reductions as these. We're always ready to cut prices in two if conditions warrant it. That means we never allow goods to grow old-ar. ways sell for less rather than attempt to carry things over from one season to another. ALEX.
