We know full well 'tis paralyzing all other similar line3 of busi ness about us, but we 've no alternative ; one more month and this store will become a vast mechanics ' shop, filled with artisans who '11 ply the hammer, saw, trowel and plane ; the walls will be torn down be tween the old store and the ne'w, the mammoth elevators will be installed, the largest on the Coast: bricks, mortar and dust will fly. Old departments will be torn out, some moved, all enlarged 'tis a monster expansion. No use trying to care for the goods or move 'em. We'd rather do business one month at a loss and give our patrons the benefit than to lose on goods damaged. All incoming new goods go direct to the bargain tables. We can't afford to cog the wheels of a business like this by cancelling orders. Our standing in the market is without a flaw today, and must be kept that way. So come and take away the goods to your homes, and remember how the "Old Homestead Store" helped you to save when a larger store is ready to hold our larger patronage. The story today "Every thing in the house reduced" is augmented by a matchless list of Friday Specials for today only. Also every advertised bargain of the week goes today.
