Now We Will Tell You How We Can
Make Money by Realizing Cost,

The depression in trade has been wonderful
everywhere. We have bought more goods
than usual this fall, anticipating good trade,
as that was the universal cry at the outset of
the season, but those that prophesied In this
case must have been boon companions of Pro-
fessor Virgins and made a terrible failure.
Our stock Is very large, and, in fact, too large
for this season of the year: About three weeks
ago the Excelsior suit and Cloak Company of
New York offered us lot of $50 coats of all
kinds In medium goods, the balance they had
on hand of this seasons production, at very
low figure, We, thinking there was some big
money In them for us, bought them and sold
a quantity, but we still have some of the
cream left, and we Just came to the concu-
sion that now was lthe best opportunity to
sell them and If we can dispose of them at
cost and realize the cash and make our dis
count we are still making money. We have
divided every lot and numbered them from
! to Is with new tickets, and each garment
marked according to this list:
