Commencing Friday
Every article of merchandise including Ladies and Mens
and Childrens Furnishings, Dry Goods and Notions pur
chased in our opening stock from Fleischner & Mayer
will be sold at Absolute Cost.
The Reason of This Sale
This is not because we need the money to pay our bills, not because we are going out of business but because other Lents
Merchants have objected to our handling this line, therefore Fleischner and Meyer refuse to sell us further goods with
which to keep our stock complete.
Because of this we are going to sell each and every article at exact cost price and
rid our store of every article purchased from Fleischner and Meyer.
