Big January Stock Reducing Sale
As has been our custom for years past to hold a gigantic January Sale, we will make no exception this year.
The annual sale will be a money-saving opportunity for the people of Eugene and surrounding country, and for us it
will reduce our great stòck and enable us to better handle the spring goods when they arrive. From day to day different
goods will be added to the list on sale, making the last day as interesting as the first. For lack of space we can tell you
of only a few items. The better way is for you to come to the store and look around. It will pay you.

says all the inhabitants are dead. The population was ten

was performed by volunteers from
