THE "OLD RELIABLE TO THE FRoST-
The GOLD LEAF takes pleasure in inviting
the attention Of Its readers this week to
the advertisement of Lehman's "Old Relia-
BILE" Clothing House, and the announce
ment therein made. 1t is needless for us to
say anything about this house. 1t is too we'll
known, and its reputation for good and re-
liable goods, too we'll established. to need
any words Of commentator at our hands.
But We wish to impress the fact that they
are now Offering bigger bargains than ever
before, and to say that il you want fine
ready-made clothing, boots, shoes, hats,
gents furnishing goods, etc, now is the
time to bsy. The entire stock-all fresh
and reliable-will be offered at and below
cost for the next sixty days to run it off,
to make change in business, as stated last
week. and also in advertisement to-day !;
and perhaps We cannot too urgently i'm
press upon our friends the Importance of
taking advantage of such an opportunity
while it is offered. To effect an entire
clearance sale, Mr.. Lehman has cut prices
"in tUo," and says he will quote the low
est figures ever IN: de for the best lines Of
seasonable and desirable goods. Never
before in the history of this house has it
offered anything like the extraordinary
bargains approaching in value those which
it rOw presents. They mean what they
say;-"at and below COST means just that,
and as this proposition will hold good only
for short time, it will pay you to call
early and make your purchases while you
have the choice of the ''pick." A visit
cannot fail to convince You of the superb
ority of their goods and the cheapness of
their prices. The recommendations of the
cold Reliable" are the superior quality of
their goods their knowledge of the wants
of their customers their ability to supply
them and their reasonable prices.
