Announcement for The New Yeir.

Our New Year catches the
cadence Of the step with which
the Old Year went out. The
gathering and opening Of bar
gains goes vigorously forward.
Those already opened continue
with an almost unbroken front.
The scant courtesy to your
intelligence implied in Especial"
clearing" distribution" and
"stock. taking" sales with which
the papers, mainly in other
cities, abound. Is omitted here.
Whatever OF that has ever been
about us is in the past.
The simple statement now Is
that In our present offerings
sixty cents will buy . dollars
worth.
