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.

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.
