 We once heard a preacher urge his hearers to Ego on until they have reached perfection's sacred height and" (here he paused, but immediately added) 'let that be the starting point for fresh endeavors!" Now, last week was to be the eliminating week of Our Great Closing Sale, but you know it rained hard the first three days and showed Saturday. So we had to postpone the supreme effort until this week. That reminds us again of the story of a "can- ny" Scotch carrier who made public announcement of his in- tended departure on a certain day CD. V. and weather permit ting), but on the following day whether or no. Well, whatever the weather this week, it is to be THE week of the sale. While all around us are Grand Open- ings, here is the Grand Closing, and so you will have to go and look at the one and come and buy at the other. As our stock of cheaper goods is sold out the higher qualities are put in to take their places. Therefore the Bargains become daily better.

 We have made all our Black Silks between $1 and $1.5o the uniform price of $I. We have made all those between ST.. 50 and $2 the uniform price of $1.5o. We have made all be- tween $2 and $2. so the uni form price of $2. This caps the climax in Black Silks.
 We have made all our Black Silk Brocade Velvets $1.25. We have unflinchingly marked down our stock of Colored Silks, Velvets and Pushes. We have made all our Silk stock attractively cheap.

 We have marked all our fine Corsets the uniform price of $ II with two exceptions. The $I goods are made 75c. The 75c goods SOC, and the SOC goods 2oc. We have made uncom- monly low prices on all our stock of made-up Underwear; most of the fine pieces are about half the former price. Children's Dresses and infants Robes and Cloaks are put away, away down.
 
 Last week we sold 25o Elec- tric Silver Grey Gossamers at o8c, this week we make them 8oc, just reversing the figures. We have made the most un- compromising mark-down on all our stock of Shawls. Now is the grand chance to get a Paisley or a Cashmere Shawl cheap. Any Cloak in our store can now be had very cheap, those who bought garments from us last week can tell their friends how cheap.
 We have just received ship ment of Kid Gloves, the order for which was placed in Europe last fall. They are 4-button lengths in ali the new shades and Black. We meant to sell them at 85c. What if we make them 58c? That is what we shall do. The sale at this price we limit to GOO pairs. No more than six pairs to any one customer. Other famous drives in Kid Gloves will be offered at the same time.
 Our sale of Dress Goods have been simply enormous. We had an enormous stock. It was a good stock and all our pur- chases for Spring were included. This week the inducements will be greater than ever. Our line of Black Goods is simply un- approachable. We have gone through it piece by piece and we say, knowing as we do the current prices of goods, that no such values can elsewhere be obtained.
 Our entire stock of Blankets only figures up S2 pairs now. We have again reduced them and we do not expect to count ? pairs at the end of the week. The whole of our reserve stock of Linens is on deck now. No duplicates anywhere. Secure some of the Bargains. And se- cure some of the Bargains in White Goods that are on our counters.
 We sell you the best Pins at 4c a paper. They used to be Sc. The last end of our Trimming Stock is to go this week. The
