alized on ut Once.


An event of no small Importance to the
general public takes place TODAY at SIT
Second street, in the Occidental block. 1t
is not often that such staple articles of
everyday necessity as groceries of every
description, of the best quality, are thrown
upon the market at actual cost. When
the Charles F. Frasch stock came into the
assignee's hands it was complete in eyery
line of staple and fancy goods, in fact
there were only two other establishments
In the city that carried as tine an assort-
ment. Everything on the shelves and in
the bins IS now offered to the public at
cost figures, without reserve. 1t is the
assignee's desire to get rid of the stock
just as soon as possible, that the creditors
may realize. To secure choice of every
thing an early visit should be made.
In addition to the grocery stock there is
fine assortment of table and fancy wines.
liquors, ETC., purchased to please the best
family trade, and these goods will be sold
on the same schedule as the remainder of
the stock-at actual cost. Housekeepers
should not fail to see what is offered at
this sale, as no such opportunity has been
offered in this city. The sale opens TODAY
at the old Frasch store in the Occidental
block.
