Winter Goods at Cost
BLANKETS, OVERCOATS,
COMFORTABLES, CLOTHING,
WOOL UNDERWEAR, WINTER SHOES
CLOAKS, WOOL SHIRTS,
CAPES, SHAWLS,
HOODS, FASCINATORS,
WOOL HOSE, LINED GLOVES.
These goods are in our way and we also need the money. We have a long
winter term yet before us, and much comfort can be derived from warm Clothing,
even if it doesn't cost you much.
Our Ladies' Cloak prices are a joke. When we show customers our line and
quote prices they think we stole them. We simply have sold hundreds of their com
rades and what is left is as a drop in a bucket. Hence we can part with them for
most nothing, and by turning the capital several times this summer be ready for a
new line for Fall, 1905.
We will have after March 1st a first-class forelady in our Suit and Skirt Depart
ment. We will show a swell line of Suits, Skirts and Rain Coats, when we get
our store arrangement complete.
1905 will see wonderful values offered in every department of this reliable store.
Yours truly,
FRANK A. CRAM.
