In November we purchased the entire $36,500 stock of the Plymouth Clothing Store, or Butte, Montana, at 29 cents on the dollar. - Those two immense stocks, combined with our own, gave us a stock of over $125,000 worth of Clothing, Shoes and Men's Furnishings. Immense as has been our business in the past three months, we find we have bit off more than we could chew, and the greater part of the above stocks are still unsold and unpaid for. The Union and Plymouth, as well as our own creditorsare pressing us for money. Their bills were due January I, but we got an extension only to February I, and we must raise $30,000 IN THE NEXT THIRTY DAYS OR BUST. To meet these bills, to save our business, our credit, everything we have on earth, we will sacrifice our great $125,000 stock of Fine Clothing, Shoes and Furnishing Goods to one-half, and in a great many cases one-fourth their actual value. 9 10.00 and 912.50 Suits, in sack and frock, all frj fa slzesi Forced Sale price ..................... ... ..,.H0OU 915.00 Suits in sacks and frocks, neat dark colors, (Jr AA tailor made, Forced Sale Price ...... i . ; . $t)UU f 20.00 Suits, in sacks and frocks, strictly tailor-made gar ments only, in pure wool worsteds, black, .clays ani fancy mixtures, Scotch tweeds and cheviots, 5ft Forced Bali price ........... ..U.... ... ...... . . . ... ,H ' f 25.00 Suits,' in fine imported all-wool worsteds, strictly tailor made, lined with all-wool gle and double-breasted Forced Sale price : Socks One ton of 10c cotton Sox go during the Forced Sale, at mv 15c black and tan cotton Sox, Forced 0 - Sale price OC 25c fancy Sox, double heel, soles and toes, in lisle Maco and merino, Forced Sale n price llC 50c, 75o and $1.00 fancy imported Socks, 1,060 dozen in this grand lot, of Imported French goods no finer Sox can be bought for money.
