The first week of the Sep
kcmbey Limited Sale has gone
1t has been a success.
Like a good book or musical
composition, each wise business
scheme has a motive. The mo-
tive of this sale is to make good
business better.
We are asked is business dull2
Why, bless you, no. August
sales were phenomenally large.
We've told you that before.
To continue the outflow of
goods, Bargains have been
sought and brought, sometimes
from our own stocks, some
times from others, but brought
they have been. And trade
has kept its course with a rush
aud stocks have been cleared
out thoroughly.
RemeM6er the Blankets.
Never such a Blanket story as
that we told you last week.
Remember the Linens. They
are now at the counters.
Remember the Parlor Suites
and the Bedroom Suites.
Money in them yet for yon but
not for us.

Careful examination shows that in many
respects this remarkable work is superior
to any of its competitors, especially in its
adaptation to popular use; its combination
of an unabridged dictionary with the ordi-
nary features Of a cyclopedia of universal
knowledge is unique. The definitions and
pronunciation OF the words are clear and
accurate, the Illustrations are excellent,
the topics are thoroughly treated and en-
brace the results of the recent investiga.
tions and discoveries. Then, too, the ex-
tremely low price place 1t within the reach
of all. The eighteenth volume is fully to
the high-water mark Of its predecessors.
1t is especially rich in its biographies. We
find sketches of Hall and Hayes, the Artic
explorers; John Hall and Robert Hall, cele-
brated clergymen; Hsllam and Herodotus,
great historians; Haller, the philologist;
Alexander Hamilton, the statesman, and
Sir William Hamilton, the scientiest; Han
del and Hadyn, the music composers;
Hannibal, the foe of Rome; Hegel, the
philosopher; Heine, the poet, and
Hengstenberg, the theologian; Herschel,
the astronomer, and many other men Of re-
nown. Among important articles in other
lines are Halluciation; Hand Hanseatic
League, the famous trade union OF the
Middle Ages; Harbor; Hartford Conven.
ton, unique and famous in our political
history; Harvard University; Hay; Hayti;
Heat; Heart; Heaven; He'll; Heredity;
Heresy; and Hieroglyphics. The forty
volumes in which this great work will be
completed will make splendid library.
The price, which must advance as the work
nears completion, is wonderfully low. II
