T WEEK OF GREA
AIL
Tomorrow begins the last week of our great sale and we intend to make this the greatest bargain week this store has ever known. Each and every department show results of tremendous
price slashing especially for this mammoth merchandising event. Ten Thousand Dollars more must be realized from this stock to satisfy the demands of Eastern creditors, and our prices will
convince you of our determination to raise this amount and settle all bills and release us from further responsibility. Signed: LEWIS BROS. & CO.
Remember all goods are displayed on tables in lots, plainly marked. Come early and get the choicest bargains.
