Come early; come before noon. for up to 664 for. up to for up to The Palace Clothing Company Maurice L. Rothchild, Proprietor, St. Paul, Minn. Stood at the vary pinnacle of fame. It was not surpassed by any establishment in the clothing trade in the world. The elegance and richness of the goods carried in stock, the elaborate and costly fitting of The Palace Clothing Company of St. Paul was a standard of storekeeping seldom reached in the annals of shop facts. The destruction of this great establishment was a signal that any goods saved would be aold in bulk to some big concern. The Boston Store of Portland, through its eastern organisation, secured all the choicest Hart, Schaffner ft Marx and other great makers' best goods not burned, but smoke or water damaged at 20 per cent of value. The talk of the clothing world from New York to Chicago is how it happened that a way-out west town got the plum. It's this: Spot cash, and remember the Boston Store is the largest spot-cash dealers of distress merchandise in America, if not the world. Offices and affiliations extend from coast to coast. . ass
