THE TWICE-A WEEK GUAR”', MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1011
IkW
QUR AIM of moving the goods out is being rapidly accomplished. Stocks have been greatly diminished dur­
ing the previous days of this great sale, and now deeper cuts are being made to inspire still quicker sell­
ing. In another week we move to our new home on Sixth street. By that time stocks promise to reach the de­
sired extent of reduction and the object of the sale will then be accomplished. Until the last hours of the sale,
we guarantee generous assortments and still greater values; in fact, greater values are not known than these.
