NOW the time, THIS STORE the place, to make such savings as no Western house err offered before. $600,000.00 warth of new Winter and staple goods, holiday merchandise and Christonas Gifts must be sold this month. The stocks are topheavy that
much. We're -willing to discount the stocks new as a business man discounts his note at a bank. 'Tis not so much the need of money, but of room. Spring goods Trill .come pouring in a month hence. It won't do to pile new goods on top of old. We
don't allow goods to become old here. Each season must bear its OWN loss. The time to SELL is when people most want to BUT. That's NOW, so we issue orders to our managers to cut loose, forget what costs were or profits ever meant, but SELL!
And to hint who sells the most we'll pay a golden prise. The sixth day of the sensational sale is here. The values are better than ever, the bargains stronger and plentier. We predict a perfect furore of buying. Every special of the week, not already
sold out, remains in force. And new onces are added. Santa Clans Comes Today to Help And the Women's Tearoom opens.
