C°S~° Dress Goods Dept ■ iTS1? L In the general arrangements of our Mammoth Store we have en deavored to reach a point as near perfection as it is possible to do with the markets of the world to draw from. We are at no loss to place be fore our customers an assortment of Fine Dress Materials that will simply stagger description. Merchants all over the coast have been crying Advance!” “Advance!” “Advance!’’ Now we do not deny the fact that some particular brands of goods have advanced the prices to some extent. But the closest buyers in the city after looking over our Stock have been unanimous in their verdict that they Never saw as Good Values Sold so Cheaply. Advance or no advance a good merchant will not pay one cent more for his goods than he has to and if the advance on Our Goods is so slight that the < losest buyer cannot detect it what is the use of mak ing a great Howl about a thing that does not exist. We have had customers tell us that they have lieen told that a certain make in Fine Dress Goods had been advanced from 50 to 100 per cent. Now this is simply ridiculous and we will be only too pleased to dem onstrate to the satisfaction of the most skeptical that the Big Store can offer you as Good if not Better Values in Dress Goods at 25c, 50c, 75c and $1.00 |>er yard as you ever purchased, and to prove to you that we mean business we offer the following line» at prices that are as low, if not lower than we have ever be fore been able to quote on the same classes of Goods.

Next Saturday, March 24th, While in Chicago a few weeks ago our Mr. Coe secured one of the Greatest Bargains ever placed on the American Dry Goods Market Manufacturers of all classes of Goods accumulate great quantities 01 Remnants Ends—pieces' of all kinds of goods that are slightly dam iged or torn. Tinse are usually sold to manufacturers of Children’s Die-.es and Eadies Shirt Waists and Men’s Shirts who can use them to almost the same advantage as regular goods. Every yard of Calico, Muslin, Percale, and Lonsdale Cambric we will Guarantee to be Perfect. All the reason for selling them in this manner is the fact that they are in small remnants. The fine Lawns and Dimities did not fare quite so well as they are in short lengths, some of the pieces being torn lengthwise clear through the piece. But for making Children's Dresses and Waists every piece can be used with very little waste. Now we are very anxious for all of our out of town friends to take advantage of tilts Sale and have advertised it far'enough ahead to give all a chance when the car is opened, to secure their share of the Good Things we have to offer. We will place these Goods on a regular car in our store built for the purpose and those who attend the Sale will be amply repaid for any effort^required for them to come to town. We will try and have the Goods on exhibition several days before the Sale begins. Crepons.
