as Clearance Occasion! Tie Most Remarkable Baying Opportunity Yet
Clean-Sweep Sale means a week's series of special sales of seasonable Summer
Price efforts on the most worthy merchandise from loom and factory at the time you're likely to need 'them most.
A business stirring sale on hot-weather goods at the beginning of hot weather, just when the ordinary shops reap their
greatest profits. An example typical of this store's way of doing things. As you read this announcement you can almost
hear the clink of money saved. We will have a large force of salespeople to wait on you that as little delay as possible
may occur to prevent pleasant shopping. For tomorrow and the coming week we have gathered vast assortments of THE
BOLDEST JUNE VALUES EVER KNOWN.
You know from past experience that when we make such an announcement we have values that the most aggres
sive competition cannot equal. Nothing but the most seasonable, desirable and reliable merchandise will be offered. No
other kind is EVER offered here, but many of the following prices are so low that they might cause doubt on that jpoint
unless we gave you assurance to the contrary. "We urge you to visit this store tomorrow because we know that it will pay
you handsomely to come .here. Every item mentioned below points the way to a most desirable money-saving opportun
ity. The Reliance White Sale is over, and in its wake we find many oddments, ends of lots too little of this and too
niuch of that most stores wait until buying time is over and people have left town for the Summer before they reduce
(goods for a clean-up of stocks. Not so here we're "different." "We want to sell the goods, so offer them now while
you're buying while you need them for use, present and future, and while you're in town to take advantageof

Out Great Clean-Up Sale W&idi Begins Tomorrow Morning
For several days past there has been a hasty census taking of the last of lots in every depart
ment. Every good housewife knows the benefits that are to be derived from housecleaning, and
while the "liege lords" may grumble, yet it "has to be gone through with." So it is in a great, heav
ily stocked store of this kind. A radical cleaning up must be done semi-annually, else counters,
shelves and cases will become burdened and cluttered up with small lots and last of lines. Tomorrow
we begin it. How deeply in earnest we are and how thorough we mean to be you may learn by
reading the following quotations:
