"Cheap Andy" FOrevcr!!
I oW PRICES and quick sales having exhaus-
Il 4 ted the small stock purchased in advance of
the regular Fall supply, Andy, during his stay in
the eastern cities, took occasion to purchase
'leetle' the largest and best assortment of

hire, and, lastly, he acts on the principle Of z
