A Genuine Success.

A genuine bargain sale-or sale OF first
class goods at the extreme Of low priests
the actual condition of things at H. j. Gill
LENS.
Such sales are frequently advertised, but
not so often realized by the buyer; and 1t
may be said that never in this city's history
has the claim Of offering firstclass stock
been so faithfully carried out, in the letter
and spirit, IS at H. J. Gillsn's ct this time.
The stock is simply superb; and that the
sales is genuine, and being genuine is meet
ing with great success, is equally true.
The sales in silks and dress goods have
been incredibly large There is no other
reason for the great increase of sales over
last year. that we can see, but the fact of the
unusual inducements offered to buyers.
The sales in the carpet and curtain stock
have been over 25 per cent. greater than last
year at the same time. On complete stock
prices are made to suit the times.
The notion stock is very complete, and
offers special bargains in hosiery, gloves,
parasols fans, &c.
Sales in white goods far Beyond all pre-
vious years--outsripping everything. The
stock is immense and prices very low.
The boot and shoe stock is a business CON-
plete in itself, and contains everything the
greatest demand calls for.
The whole truth Of the matter is the house
contains a general stock, and particular
stocks, by far the largest in this county. 1t
is really too large, and prices will be made
to unload. We are quite aware that 1t will
be said: "Old story but it is nevertheless
true that the greatest bargains IN all lines of
dry goods, carpets and boots and shoes now
offered in Ottawa are to be found at ii. j.
Gillen's. All invited to call and see.
