Mr.1 Hill, one of your old pioneer merchants is talking to you after seventeen years of successful merchandising. Mr. Hilt is distressed, not financially, but a backward buying season for some unaccountable reason,' has caught us with a tremendous overload of merchandise that must be sold. We bought heavy, this season anticipating a good business but it has not been up to our expectations. We are not going to wait, we are going to sell and sell now and forget our profits for the next nine days. For it is not the policy of this firm to carry merchandise over from one season to another, we are en tering into this sale determined to make it the master stroke in our business career, putting forth every effort to give you bargains you will appreciate. Remember my reputation is back of this sale, a reputation carefully guarded these many years I have been in business, a reputation for honest merchandising, honest advertising and always doing just what we advertise. Now we are promising you the best sale in the history of this store and you . are not going to be disappointed, we invite you all to come and share in the savings this sale meaus to you. - HILL'S DEPT.
