An Immense Crowd of Buying People, and Such Great Enthusiasm in Bar gains was Never Before Witnessed in Washington Co. Thousands of People For Miles Around GOING TO CORNELIUS To Attend Hancoc k' s Closing U ti Out J L-,j '-l 1,1 f1 R KVl Jill Why not, when farmers can buy all kinds of farm implements, useful gar den, carpenter and farm tools and all kinds of hardware so necessary on the farm for much less than present wholesale market value; on the other hand families can buy everyday necessities of life, all kinds of useful household utensils, heating stoves, cookins; utensils, furniture, etc.; also all kinds of wearing apparel for men, women and children, such as useful and staple dry oods, furnishing goods, shoes, underwear, hosiery, overalls, in fact, every thing you need and expect to buy for fall and winter use, at prices in almost every instance, less than present wholesale value. Cornelius never before saw such crowds as visited this sale opening day the main street and side streets were lined with automobiles and rigs, a sight and scene never be fore witnessed in Cornelius. When we opened this mighty Closing Out Sale last Saturday, every minute of the day and late at night our store was pack ed and jammed with eager buyers, everyone expressing their appreciation of the wonderful bargains offered. Hundreds of customers were turned away Saturday, as it was not humanly possible for our sales people to wait upon everyone. If you were one that could not get waited upon, wc urge you, regardless of how far you live from Cornelius, to, by all means, visit this store this week as the savings offered are beyond belief, and thousands of dol lars worth of staple groceries, in fact, everything you eat and wear is be ing sold here, in face of war times and war prices, at far below the present market value. Merchandise is not enly goinij higher and higher in price ev ery day, it is going to be scare and the person or family that takes advan tage of this mighty closingout sale and supplies their present and future needs will be the ones that will profit. REMEMBER, this sale continues and the cutting and slashing of prices Vill keep up until every dollars worth of Hancock's $30,000 stock is sold out completely. $30,000 Stock of Merchandise Sacrificed at Hancock's Store, Cornelius, Or.
