It being customary at this season of the year, just befor inventory, to offer the remainder
of our stock at greatly reduced prices, this year will be no exception to the custom. An
exception, may exist, however, that will be on the sale prices quoted. We are about to
make extensive alterations, which necessitates the speedy removal of merchandise, that
the workmen may be unhampered in their effort to complete their task at a very early
date: consequently this affords an exceptional opportunity to replenish father, son or
