Del 5 Appreciated Chrlstmni Presents, at the store of Housewares, WM. GAHLSDORF 135 N. Liberty St. This fact was proven yesterday for fully half of the men that attended our Sale and there were a lot of them, had heard a friend or neighbor talking about it. Well, no matter so long as THE GLAD TIDINGS ARE SPREAD. Why not givo her a good last- ing present, a Hoover Electric Cleaner. WM. OAHXSCORF 138 N. Liberty St The Btore of Housewares And right here let us hope that they keep talking for it is cheaper than newspaper advertising, however, we will continue to advertise, for one of our posters sent to a gentleman over near Route 1 brought us a customer who spent enough the first day to pay for the whole five thousand sent out and he thanked us for sending it to him, too. Queer, isn't it? Several parties, and some of them live right here in Salem, too,, that did not know that we carried Shoes while we supposed everyone knew it, so did not advertise Shoes for sale. However, will have a little Shoe Talk today. We have the Real Shoe Bargains. All Shoes reduced, black and tans, button and lace, including English lasts. Can't well quote prices on all, they are Pack ards, and the prices are from $2.48 to $3.98. We can't tell you much about Cloth ing in this space but these prices talk. $10.00 Suits $6.48, $12.50 Suits at $8.68, $15.00 Suits $9.88, $20.00 Suits at $13.48 and $25.00 Suits, $16.78. That ladies know real bargains was shown by the goodly number who have honored us with their presence. While we handle Men's Goods exclusively, there are many wives and mothers who do the family buying and buying here now helps the family purse. The way they carried away Under M'ear was like old times. Everybody wanted the better grades and no won der, for look The six dollar French ribbed silk and wool at $1.78 the garment, won't last long while the $1.25 saved by getting the five dollar kind is attractive. Coopers spring needle Underwear is like wheat in the bin and the chance to get the real wool at only $1.13 the gar ment does not come often. Cooper's Australian wool at 98c is also a rare bargain. Lots of people prefer the cotton Un derwear for this climate so now have a chance to get the regular seventy five cent Swiss ribbed athletic shirts and drawers at 35c, or the derby ribbed French collar winter weight that sells everywhere at fifty cents, for 35c each. We told you yesterday about Men's Trousers, and you'd be surprised how many men right here in Salem are wearing our trousers today, and here are the prices we are selling them for: the six dollar ones for $4.48, the five dollar ones for $3.73, the four dollar kind at $3.38, the three fifty ones are now $2.68, and the two fifty kind are $1.98. .There's only a few of the dollar twenty five cotton pants left but then 28c is all they cost you. Yesterday was a better day for Rain coats and Umbrellas than for overcoats still we did not do so bad." No doubt the rediculous . prices that they are marked helped quite a bit One of the salesmen claims four to his credit But you are more interested in the prices than the number sold. Well the ten dollar ones are $6.98. Twelve fifty ones are $7.38, fifteen line are $8.68, twenty dollar kind for $11.48, and twenty five dollar ones $13.98. . .The Shirt story is a short one and is best told by the price tickets which read $3.00 shirts for $2.28, $2.50 shirts $1.88, $2.00 shirts for $1.48, $1.50 shirts for $1.13, and a lot of $1.00 shirts for 48c each; flannel shirts from $1.50 to $3.00 at 78c to $1.98. Odd coats and vests, sizes 34 and 35 only, worth up to $8.00 and $10.00 for $1.48, and a lot of odd vests worth up to $2.00 for 18c, $2.50 Jersey sweaters for $1.48, and $2.50 V-neck sweaters for 98c. Two dollar hats for $1.12, and $3.00 ones for $1.98. 50c wool socks for 38c, and the 25c ones for 18c. Fifteen, sixteen and seventeen inch Oxford Bags that were &J50, $5.00 and $5.50 are now $2.48, $2.98 and $3.48. 50c and 75c Neckwear for 38c, and the 25c and 35c ones are 21c. Seventy five cent Xmas boxes tie and pin 38c, and the $1.25 ones with leather box are 73c. Just one suggestion before we stop.
