Let us take a paragraph,
though to mark the pleasant
fact that iron and coal and gold
go extremely well together.
And so, as we have often said
before, we serve both the few
and the million better for serv-
ing them both together.
Now is the time for the mil
lion. Stocks are uneven. Too
much of this. A remnant of
that. The other is useful, but
the favor of fashion is turning
away from it. Over yonder
in hot.headed Babylon, handy
base of supplies, New York,
good merchandise gets into
troublefroma thousandcauses
January sells it out at a loss.
All these causes, the natural
working of trade, bring you
profit-if your merchant I'M
derstands his business and
has the pluck to see beyond
the end Of his nose.
1t remains for you to distin-
guish the merchant that keeps
in this natural stream of trade
the year round.
Remnants of Partisan dress
stuffs-and remnants of these
may not be remnants at all.
They are such by the yard as
are worn in dresses to-day by
women of Acknowledged a
week or two, a month perhaps.
Prices are just the reverse
of what they we're a month
ago. Then the more extreme
the style the higher the price.
Now the most extravaganza
things are lowest.
Northwest from the centre.
Halfa-dozen different al.
most staple dress-stufs have
fallen so low as to cause I'm
common surprise.
The last one is camels-
hair. Nobody puts it at less
than rs cents. We sell it for
371s. A soft, rough, thick,
fluffy, open, easy-going and
yet substantial stuff with a wide
diagonal vale; black, browns,
green, garnet and navy-blue;
42-inches wide.
Another is dull-colored
stripes on foggy mixtures;
plain and close in texture, soft
in wool; in several combina-
tons of color none of them
really pretty, none of them
ugly; but the stufis a favorite;
so cents-it brought ST. three
months ago, but we hadn't it
then.
Another is Homespun, thick,
full, substantial, fne-wool
Homespun that all through
fall and early winter was
eagerly sought for here at ST.
elsewhere held at $I.25); and
now we have the whole of it
rs cents; 54-inch-the cheap
est stuff in the store. There
are more than twenty COM
binations of color.
Another Homespun, a one
color canvas, 54-inch, a better
cloth than is made for so cents.
Homespun plaid, a medley
of colors, thick, substantial,
heavy, went well at $I.so;
now 81, 54-inch.
Rough and thick soft cloth,
large plaid, three styles, brown,
blue and gray $I.25, now 81;
46-inch.
Ladies' cloth plaid, brown
only dollar quality. 65 cents;

neres; o5 cents for so, and a
ew colors of 90 cents for 37H.
Lupin's evening color nuns
'elIiIng IS cents for so, 43-inch.
there's no end to the list.
Ne have mentioned large
locks of goods. There are
dds and ends of little account
. us, but better than any of
nese to you, if you look for
ne cheapest things.
