Modern Methods
In Merchandise,

The large idea in our offer
ings of merchandise at this pc
riod of the year is to turn to
account the conditions which
under old notions, made the
Mid-Winter dull. Our mod
ern methods ahmit no idleness, /
tolerate no inaction. Cease
less activity is reasonable, es-
sential from all points, ethical,
economic, huma unitarian.
Good for all concerned. We
might have more to say about
that we're this not an adver-
tisement.
When demands slacken,
good bargains come, holders
want TO sell. 1t is a Mid
Winter chance. We improve
it for you. Hence the great
income and OutgO of goods at
prices yeu never used to dream
of, much less see. The great
illustration of this you may OBJ
serve here daily in the sales of
the White Fair-Muslin I'm
derwear, Linens and White
Goods.
Other examples will fall into
line to-day-Silks, Flannels,
Dress Goods, and the same
will be true all day and every
day all through January.
Important, but merely Incl
dental is the stock review
which comes with the New
Year. Any stuffs or things of
lingering propensities are then
invited out. We speed the
parting with such winning
prices that you are charmed,
as you ought to be, and make
friends of the bargains. And
so there are wraps and Jack
cts, certain kinds of Mems
Overshoes, House Furnishing
things, and many other items,
that mean money out for us
but in for you.
The Mid-Winter period is a
time Of social activity, but 9th
erwise domestic quiet, and the
practical sense of wise women
is more and more disposed to
improve this time with PrePa-
ration for the Spring and Sum
mer. Here comes our modern
e method. The old-time mer'
