Semi-Annual Clearance Sale
Opens Tuesday December 27
Tliis beinf our first Clearance Sale since opening, pur large, new store, we intend making it the greatest ;
in the way of valne giving. It seems surprising that an entirely new store, having "been open hut four
months, should sacrifice their stock in a clearance sale, but such is exactly what we have decided to do, and
are therefore applying the pencil to prices all over the store until a reduction of from 20 to 25 jer cent is
made on the entire vstock. This should appeal to every economically inclined person as an exceptionally
tempting offer, as there is not the least danger of buying an article from our stocks that may have been
hanging on the racks for years. Our stock includes everything in the- way of wearing apparel for ladies,
misses and children, and being exclusive ladies outfitters wo carry lines not shown by any other house.
You will be fully repaid for calling early on Tuesday morning and always watching our windows, which
will be filled to overflowing with the most tempting bargains during this great sale in which the warm weather
has caused our "stock of Pur Coats to move slower than we anticipated. So we have made a liberal reduc
tion on every Pur Coat in the store reductions that should result in a quick exodus of all our Pur Coats.
