nnn III IIP) 1M ffi WW, w LAST SATURDAY THE HOUSE WAS PILED FULL OF PEOPLE FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER; THE WHOLE CITY WAS AWAKE TO THE SITU ATION. It was a Carnival, but a Carnival of real merchandise, such as was never before seen in this section. This store never had a bigger jam and never will have. It would be impossible for them to get on the inside, although we expect them to be standing on the outside, with the inside full in the next few days. In fact, we would like to have this house over-run each and every day during this big event, for nothing brighter under the canopy of heaven will ever visit your city than this great, lnerehau dise unloading Carnival of V. 11. Meeker & Co. WE ARE THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE GUN. We are directing each shot and they are shooting into the enemy's camp at a fearful rate. It is coming to all the people's gain and not the few. THE FARMER AND THE WORKMAN have heard of it, and they are sending word to their friends and neighbors for miles around. You have been paying 50 to 100 cr cent profit to the mansion dwellers, but now we have eome to your relief, while others say it is our loss. Dress Goods Did you see the crowds that gathered around the Dress Goods counter looking at the latest weaves, the latest designs, where nothing but Fashion's latest is shown and see them buying right and left on all sides t Everybody was picking out patterns. They were wrapping them up like chain lightning. "What was the cause of it? It was simply buying Dress Goods at about half what the other fellow asks for them. 50c and 75c goods go for 29c and 49c and tho 25c kind went out cheaper than dirt. PETTICOATS come under the same ban at the lowest prices you ever saw. They are coming in carriages, wagons, vehicles, on the cars, on foot, or any old way you will be welcome in this house! You don't have to have silk stockings to buy in this institution; this store was built up for the masses -and not the classes, and we are welcoming the Far mer and the Workingman among the hearti est of them all. AYe are reducing prices right and left and we are taking the keenest pleasure in giving one and all the benefit. $2.50 and $2.00 values $1.49 $3.50 and $3.00 values $2.49 16.50 Black Silks $4.99 All others in proportion. We Are Still Talking Shoes We are piling our shoes; we are putting more of them in baskets, bins, on the coun ter and convenient places for you to look them over, where you can examine each pair. You will see that stamp here on them, made by honest hands, and we believe we are telling the truth when we say to you that you can come to very near fitting the whole family out in shoes here for what you pay for one pair elsewhere. It is the most goiden opportunity that ever visited Med ford since the first time she came on earth. All Israel weeps, but thev weep alone. JONES HE PAYS THE FREIGHT AND THE PEOPLE GET THE BENEFIT. Whether it is shoes you want for your wife, your mother, your daughter, for your sweet heart, the babies, or anybody, they are here for you and they are here at prices that arc talking out loud. Ginghams cost but little if anything at this big Carni val. The best Machine Thread is sold by us at 10 spools for 10c with all purchases of t-5 or over. Remember this is a straight business pro position. We must dispose of as much of this stock as possible during this month. We urge you to come down and see our 6tore. Perhaps you have never been here before come in anyway and see how our goods are marked. You don't have to buy land sakes, no. We are only to glad to have you look. Ever3-thing is arranged so you can look around and see the prices on every article. Now is the time to act. No merchant in Medford ever offered such prices. CAN YOU AFFORD TO MISS IT. The distinct understanding with all tho people is before vou here in great, big, plain letters. FOLLOW THE CROWD AND COME TO OUR STORE. W. H. Meeker (b Co. MEDFORD, OREGON The Way Clothing Went Out of the store the last few days was the Won der of the Age. THE CHEAP SHODDY CLOTHING CUTS NO ICE now, as the leople can buy Clothing here that is up-to-date, at about what the other fellow charges for what he has been carrying for the past 25 years. We have Thousands of Dollars worth of it, and it is all going out to the peo ple at the most ruinous prices ever placed upon fine goods in this city. If you want a 6iugle thing in the Clothing Line, remember that you must be here at this Carnival to get it, as such an opportunity was never offered you before in your life. The same thing ap plies to every item in the big store. Our Underwear Stock is most complete, yet it is here that the hea viest buying of the whole Carnival centers. It is always advisable to buy underwear early, as it may be that your size will be missing when you get ready to make your selection. There are plenty of all sizes yet, however, and you will be pleased with the choice offered in the different weights. The right thickness to suit any taste, and all of the best quality and well made, made for comfort and wear. Thanking you one and all a thousand times for your attendance to this Carnival in the last few days, and trusting you will be here each and every day until the final wind-up. ai oaoooaoocwBOeotaacroiBaoowiciaoaD The Hedford Furniture Co.
