ECeNoMY is the road to wealth, and
the most feasible plan of economizing
now offered is to attend the great clear
ing sale at Elsons mammoth cheap
store. Ante.war prices are nowhere,
compared to those now ruling at this
popular resort Calicoes, good and fast
colors, only l0c. per yard bleached
domestics, from SC. to l2c. per yard; and
other goods in proportion. 1t will
amply repay those in want of dry goods
or clothing to pay visit to this nam
moth emporium, and we can testify by
experience that their prices are, without
exception, the lowest in the city. The
stock of dress goods is large and we'll
assorted, and the prices asked for fine
dress goods at this establishment are
less than common and trashy goods are
sold at elsewhere. A word to the wise
is sufficient, and we are confident that
the rush now going on at Elson's
will continue until their immense stock
is closed out. Be sure and go early, and
you will secure bargains.
