HERE AND ELSEWHERE,

The 1911 per cent discount sale OF Me-
Cabe's m cans saving of 26 per cent, and
in many instances 33s per gcent from old
prices before the great cut and mark
down.
McCate offers an opportunity that
may never occur again to buy goods
marked down / or with an extra dis
count Of l24 per cent.
Many mail orders accompanied with
the cash from distant points in Iowa are
among the results OF McCabe's 124 per
cent discount sale.
Additional cuts will be made in prices
of ladies, mems and children's wool and
merino underwear commencing on Mon

count will still be taken off from bottom

puts these all in with the 12t per cent of,

is, that he is the best and the most popular
