The greatest clearing sale of the year. Because of the unusual amount of
!r.erGhanc!!$e to clear, this sale will largely exceed all our previous July
Clearing Sales in volume, variety of merchandise, and in price reductions.
All broken lilies, odd lots, and those assortments of regular merchandise
which are larger than vve wish, have been given low price marks that will
force quick selling. The sale sheets will show enormous losses, but we
count losses as inevitable during these clearing sales- part of the business.
Every Article in the House Reduced.
