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.
Suppose you come in tomorrow, we'll
have more time to serve you than on
Saturday Holeproof and Phoenix
Hosiery and Ide Collars only are
reserved.
