" for this Extraordinary Sal "
and Offer.
In buying' our erring woolens Ar
this season's business we took last
spring's results as a basis as fr as
quantities are concerned. You all know
bow the financial stringency affected
she entire country and now it has stag
nated local retail trade. Business this
spring, therefore, did not come up to
our expectations. Our stock is much
toe heavysome of it will have to be
sacrificed eventually for we never
carry over patterns from 'one season to
another. Instead of reducing our prices
at the end of the season, WIS DO IT
NOW. We take our loss and take It
quickly; costs and values are entirely
disregarded. This la indeed an excep
tional opportunlty-come and ' take ad
vantage of price concessions such aa
you rarely expect to find at the end
of the season, never, as In this Instance,
at its very beginning. . In addition to
our usual low prices we will give a
special discount of 25 per cent, also an
ex era. pair of trousers or a fancy silk
vest free. "We cut the price but not tfto

84,000 FIRE III

FACTORY
Spontaneous Combustion Be
lieved the Cause of Colum
bia Chair Works Blaze.
" Fire which started In the basement
of the Columbia Chair works, on the
Macadam road near Curry street, at t
o'clock this morning, caused a loss of
approximately 14,000, This Is the rough
estimate of Manager R. J. Tunsv in
vestigations as to the cause of the blase
and - the . damage done are now . being
made.
That the loss was not more. Is due to
the quick work of the fire department,
which reached the chair works in record
time. An especially fast run was made
hv onrine No. 4. Caotaln Simpson, this
engine making the distance of a mile
and a half In a remarkably short time
after the alarm was received. . '
Reside enslne No. 4 there were also
engines 6. 10, 8 and 1 at the fire, ready
to. combine forces if necessary. , Only
No, 4, No. 6 and No. S were needed.
Fire streams of water were turned on
at once and the flames were speedily
quenched.
How the fire started Is not known,
but It Is supposed to have beeen due
to spontaneous combustion, as there
