Some of our city stores are constantly
annoyed by children coming to the door
and asking for cards, empty boxes and
that sort of thing. The clerks are, of
course, down on the youngsters. and the
warfare never ends. The other day IA
little girl opened a store door, and sticks
ing her head in, called out
Say, mister. have you got any empty
boxesp
mo" said the clerk OF very politely
"Got any cards?'

"Gotany amanacsT
NO"
Got any empty bottles7'
No"
"Got any pictures2'
No"
"Got any sense2"
NJ YES o- ScS Soh lhinc'ooie ~

And the clerk flew out of the door. hui
the youngster was up in the next alley
waking faces at him. and he came back
madden than he had been since his salary
was reduced
Politely asking for your attention for but
one moment, we would say that our
earnest endeavors to reach the top have
been so successful that we feel warrant
ell in stating that our new stock is the
nearest perfect in point of style, quality
and price, of any yet offered to the peo>
pie of this vicinity. Careful buying in
markets that have Just experienced ser
ious depression enables the cash buyer to
make extremely favorable terms. We
have taken advantage of the evident in>
clination of manufacturers to move their
goods at very close margins and laid IN
our new stock at low figures. We pro =
pose to divide the benefits so secured with
our customers and assure all that we can
and will sell you goods at prices to
please the most economical.

I,ves,;gota orr new line of Holiday
eoods BEFORE YOU buy. We do not urge
YOU not to look AT other stocks, but
merely ask as favor to us, and as a
duty you owe yourself not to purchase
until YOU have seen our bargains. See
what others offer, learn the prices on
such articles as you need, but under no
circumstances invest dollar without
first seeing our seasonable attractions.
We do not fear criticism or comparison
On the contrary we invite it, We can
better make you understand the induce
ment We offer after an inspection OF the
goods and prices of other houses in our
line. This is plain talk; but the plain
truth is, we think we can offer you the
best inducements in new and desirable
goods, and the best inducements in
prices. We ask for but one trial.
