strangel But True.

It seems very strange to other dealers
why we can afford to sell so much cheaper
and offer much superior article to the
public than they do, but when once seen
into the matter it is not very hard to dis
solve. We purchase direct from the man.
ufacturers who manufacture nothing but
for best retail trade. We can sell cheaper
because we sell more than others, and are
satisfied with very small profits. Those
who need such as Clothing, Hats or Fur

well to call on us, as we MUST close out
our entire stock before the beginning Of
