We are not out with flashing Newspaper Advcr
| tisements, as we are too busy without them. AL
though we employ ONE HUNDRED AND SEvEST,
| Statesmen AND SALESLADIES our Customer
would suffer by the rush, if it was larger. All We
want to call your attention to is our Stock OF
LADIES AND CHILDREN'S CLOAKs,
All of the most fashionable styles. We have mis-
calculated the QUANTITY of our purchases, and
find that if we sell at the rate Of one hundred Q
day until the LIST of January our assortment would
still be large enough to stock any two Houses III
this city.
| We therefore have concluded not to wait until
the latter part of the Season. but to reduce prices
at once to such figures as will make them sell.
Our TEN-DoLLAR RADAME SATIN CIRCULAR,
QUILTED LINING, is WORTH FIFTEEN-DoLLARs.
All our goods are made
EXPRESSLY FOR U.s. OR MANUFACTURED
BY US ON OUR FOURTH FLOOR.
Do not neglect this opportunity, but call at once,
even if you have no intention to buy at present.
A few words about our STOCK OF BLANKETS.
We have attended three TRADE-SALEs OF BLANK
ETs in New York, and find VIC have over
ONE HUNDRED CASES
on hand. The goods were bought 40 per cent.
Cheaper than last years prices. which lnsures us
against loss even if VIC would carry them over to
next year. What we dread is the idea of carrying
them, for want of Storage Room. We shall there
fore sell them, with a small advance on cost by
the single pair, at prices which will throw all
competition in tho shade.
We arc selling 1O-1 Blanket at S1.2O a pair.
We arc selling an al-wool, warranted . lbs, at
sd pair.
Wholesale dealers arc selling them at $3.50 and
all finer goods in proportion. We have them us
large rs 11-1, and guarantee you saving OF ut
least 40 per cent.
