WE have some
" " customers who
invariably buy
winter underwear in the
spring and the thinnest
goods in the fall.
1t is not profitable for
us to encourage this kind
of business, but at the end
of a season there are al
ways some goods which we
had rather lose considera-
BILE money on than carry
over.
We have been looking
over the stock during the
past rainy week and find
several odd lots which will
be sacrificed today.
The first 6WneA to go on
the block will be a lot of
Mems Socks at IS cents.
These include some all
wool blue mixed Ipswich,
an old fashioned reliable

ways sold at 50 cents and

seam Merino, regular forty
two cent grade, to be sold
at the popular price, IS
