Frequently Remarked

"Your house is more crowded than
any other store in town."
Genuine, Simon Pure Bargains will
draw the crowd.
There are no tricks allowed to be
practiced i'll this house.
Every article must be sold on it's
own merit, and every representation
made by the salesman is guaranteed
by the management.
The past week was all we could
wish.
The crowd was immense, and the
sales in accordance.
Silks, Dress Goods, Blankets, Boots
and Shoes, were booming and were
piled out i'll quantities.
Never have we had such Silk
season.
So far rs we know we haven't lost
the sale of single Silk Dress where
the parties shopped the market.
We must show the best value in
Silks or we would not always take
the prize.
