Extraordinary Sale Of Mems Shirts.

Extraordinary Sale Of Mems Shirts,
Your appreciation of the
unequalled values we have
always offered is clearly evi-
denced by the unlimited quan.
titles of these Shirts we have
sold the past seven years"cAs
we have before announced,
these Shirts are the pro-
duct Of one OF the best
conducted, most thoroughly equipped,
and most economically managed Shirt
Factories in the United States-if not In
the world-and, furthermore, they can
not be obtained elsewhere in Washing
ton The manufacturers are also eXcep-
tonally progressive and, being deter
mined to Keep ahead, rather than abreast
of the times, they are now preparing to
adopt some very valuable improvements
In their plant, and in the Shirts they
make, and in order to get into
shape to properly cope with
the increased demand sure to
follow, they have decided to
close out the present stock on
hand at once ate REDUCED
PRICES.
Our SOC grade is excepted, as It Is simply i'm
possible to produce better shirt to sell nj The
price without mourning loss. Here are the re.
duced lines:
Our SOC Shirts are now 45c.
Our 62l6c Shirts are now SOC.
Our 75c shirts are now 621Gc.
Our s7I9c Shirts are now 700.
A word about these reduc-
tions. We never name a spe-
cial or reduced price for a
day or week; nor do we ever
reduce a price on an article
and then put the price up
again later. When we re.
duce the price it remains re-
duced until the goods are
sold, consequently these shirts
can be bought at the rednced
prices so long as the lots hold
out. When the new improved
shirts arrive their prices Of
course will be the former
prices Of our regular lines.
This is, without exception the best op-
portunity ever offered TO buy MEMS
shirts; and as the lots cannot last long,
we advise an early response.
