The Recital W as Grand Success ¿QUALITY HEADQUARTERS! » Where Bishop AH-Wool Clothes are Sold , ù s L ig . i . „ : a . ; Reliable Merchandise- Under ordinary conditions we would be advertising the new styles. This year we are calling special attention to quality. Wool is 65c per pound; labor is very high. The government is taking the larger part o f the out-put o f all woolen mills. This makes prices very high. It requires a merchant of exper ience and foresight to supply reliable merchandise at a reasonable price. Our many years of manufacturing experience and our connection w ith the wool en mills has l»en o f great advantage to us. We have the largest assortment of goods we have ever had and the prices are exceptionally low under the condi tions. Many articles are sold for less than we can replace them from the man ufacturer. W e are closing out our bulk garden seeds at prices that will make your war garden pay Corp.
