IMPORTANT =, rlCE The chief fea-
ture OF interest 10 our readers in this
mornings issue is the announcement
of the annual clearing out sale OF fall
and winter d-y goods, commencing on
next Monday, December lst, at the
popular house o! Messrs |. Blum d
Bro, at llO4 Main street, two doors
from the corner OF Eleventh street. 1t
is useless for Us to eDume-ate and
classify the extensive stock displayed
at this house, which is unrivalled and
unsurpassed in extent and variety, both
in foreign and domestic dry goods, in-
GLIDING shawls, fura, cloaks, ready
made suits, underwear, all OF their own
manufacture. Daring the severest
pressure Of the crisis, this firm assumed
q special sale, and offered the goods at
a scale OF prices ruinously low. Hav-
ing removed this stock, they are now
preparing to open their closIng-out sale
on next Monday. With the object in
view of closing out the balance OF
their stock at unparalleled prices, they
will aid in facilitating a movement 50
full OF importance to go many OF mod
crate and limited means. Fully apprc-
ciatiDg the aloptIon OF such a policy,
We feel Influenced in urging orr readers
to patronize this firm particularly. AS
usual, we bespeak a crowded house at
the opening sale on Monday.
