PARASOLS,

We cannot and will not deny
it-business is backward In
many departments; one Of these
departments is that OF Parasols.
The recent heavy rains have
not tended to improve bust.
ness-we shall improve it by
our never. failing method. Par.
soils will be more in demand
now than they have been any
time this season. We have
got more OF them than we have
ever had at this time OF the
wear. We have marked them
down for ONE WEEK.
We expect our new prices
will sell enough OF them this
week to reduce the stock to
the size we want it.
