The sad and sudden demise Of so good n man
as cur late Vlce-prcsdcnt of the United
States, Thomas a. Hendricks, thousands of
orr gCcd and faithful home buyers are re-
ioicing daily over the prospects of new and
original advertisements which appear regu
laIly on Friday of each week, which, they
claim, is a guide that enables them to buy
goods at price not at or below cost, but at
certain percentage of profit, that has created
a confidence so mutual that nothing less than
an earthquake could shake it from their
minds. If you will take a close observation
Of our daily papers of to-day, and go back to
the time that We naugurated the weekly bar
gain scheme, you can then see how many
imitators are trying to capture our ideas, but
that Is an impossibility, for no one can steal
OriGnaltles. In order to make room for our
display of Holiday Presents we shall continue
to cut cur prices on staple goods.
