JOSIAH BURLEIGH.
The times are hard and business men are
pushed for money. Josiah Burleigh, the pro-
prietor of the great clothing house, announces
that he wants $25,OOO. This is not an unusual
desire, but Burleigh says he must have it. In
order to raise this amount he has reduced his
prices and is going to clear out his store before
it comes time to take account of stock. There
is no doubt but what the money will be raised,
for when prices are reduced goods are bound to
sell. The goods are not old and shop-worn
but are bright and new, and are just what are
wanted at this season of the year. In looking
over the advertisement in another column it
will be seen that there has been very great
throughout the entire stock. If you
want bargains for the holidays call early before
the stock is closed out,
