1t is hot and still Il heating, espe-
cially when one looks into the new
house of David Bros. & Blum, and
there sees the immense arrival Of
jeans and blankets. Jake David
happened to strike it whilst in New
York last week. He bought out the
entire stock Of above goods in a CON-
mission house which was closing out,
consisting of owe 100 pieces of Jeans
aud 500 pairs of blankets. These
goods are the biggest bargains ever
opened, and will be sold along with
.i.c rest of their stock at so cents on
the dollar until the entire stock OF
goods is sold. Whilst other bust
ncss men are asleep, the David Boys
are in New York hunting up rare
bargains, of which our people will
get the benefit. Square dealing, sat-
isfaction guaranteed, one price, raise
the standard and lower the price, is
their motto.
Go and look at the immense lot Of
jeans and blankets and learn their
prices. 13-lt.
