The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1889-07-06

1t is useless for any person,
who has been in our store for
the last month, 70 say Harris,
how's biz - If they were not
blind they could see ''biz was
good" Why was it good with
us when every clothing firm in
Helena has been an active mem
Der of the ''kickers club"
Why, simply because we
showed about as many styles
as all the other houses com
bined. And when a man felt
that he did not want to work a
whole yeaI for the merchant
tailor, in case he needed a sum-
mer suit he put double eagle
and calls on us, sees Just as
well made, Just as good fitting
and much more stylish gar
ments, and as a natural conse-
quence buys his suit and keeps
US bnsy.
Did you ever hear about our
clearing sales We !, we are
about to start one, pretty soon,
and you can safely gamble that
what little fur is left on the
hides of some of our moss backs
will fly when they see the
prices we quote. Among them
we will mention some of the
speciallies.
Don't you call to mind that
pretty line of Irish tweeds, the
production of Hill & Son, of
Dublin We had them in two
colors and brown They
were about as universally ad-
mired as anything we have of
fered this year, but many peo-
pie thought they were high;
but they were not. The trouble
was, they were not appreciated;
but it makes no difference. The
knife goes into them just the
same. and the consequence is,
from this day the $22 is
scratched and Sl7 appears.
But we have plenty other
plums for those to eat who have
money to buy. The express
has brought in 200 suits, sum
mer weights, that were pur-
chased at 65 cents on the dollar
and they go for the same per
centage. Many of these lots
came in our first pun chases and
We're marked $50, S22, up to
$2S. Now none of them are
marked over $40, and although
it is a rank shame, we have let
some of them out at so. You
can borrow money at 5per cent.
Il month to pay for your next
summers suit and Ill be
ahead on nearly any of these
lots
You've not heard of any sun
strokes this year, have yous Do
you know the reason! We can
tell you. We have had no hot
weather; for the same reason
we have sold but few of our
summer specialties in coats and
vests.
Now, if there is anything We
pride ourselves on, il is selection
of these goods. Just take a
look at our north window. You
will see the prettiest assortment
you ever saw in your life. Mo-
hairs, crepeS, pongee serges and
silks; the variety is great and
assortment astounding; prices
35 per cent. lower than they
would be if the season had been
propitious. We have seersuck-
ers at 81, coat and vest. We
have stripe and cross-bar liss-
tres at 50, which our competi-
tors hold at 81. We have in
the finer grades, goods that can
not be purchased outside of our
house for love nor money. As
We say, the greatest variety, the
greai est profusion ever offered
10 Montana public.
In fact, al our lines are re-
markablv low in furnishing
goods. In Hats. in Shoes, all
as cheap as consistent with good
grades and best workmanship
A cleaver has been at the dis
posal of over 300 doZ-n hand
kerchiefs at u , cents each
pretty things they were, too,
and neatly all gone.
Linen vests at 81 each; last
years goods at s.. 80. Night
robes. embroidered and plain;
in fact anything you want to
make yourself a second Adonis
You can buy,
BUT BRING TIE CASH.
