We know it is an IMMENSE UNDERTAKING and while other merchants tell you that NELSON B. LA- COURSE is losing thousands of dollars in order to make this Sale a success, that we cannot help.

We are going out alter the cold cash, and we are coming out and asking you to part with it at a season of the year when all men make their 50 to 100 per cent profit; but with us profit is a thing of the past.
