MODERN METHODS IN
MERCHANDISE.
-HE LARGEST IDEA in

RI - ANl-Ah III
our offerings of merchan-
q disc at this period of the
year is to turn to account the
conditions which under old ma.
tons made the Winter
dull. Our modern methods
admit no idleness, tolerate no
inaction. Ceaseless activity is
reasonable, essential from all
points, ethical, economic, hui
manitarian. Good for all con-
cerned. We might have more
to say about that were this not
an advertisement.
When demand slackensgood
bargains come, holders want
to sell. 1t is a Winter
chance. We improve it for
you. Hence the great income
and outgo of goods at prices
you never used to dream of,
much less see. The great il
lustration 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-Silk, 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 stutfs or things of
lingering propensities are then
ipvited 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
Jackets, certain kinds OF Mems
Overshoes. House Furnishing
things, and many other items
that mean money out for us
but in for you.
The w period is a
time Of social activity, but
otherwise domestic quiet, and
the practical sense of wise
women is more and more dis
posed to improve this time
with preparation for the Spring
and Summer. Here comes
our Modern Method. The
old.time merchant, and he is
not extinct, hides away his new
stufls until February and
March, meanwhile pushes or
tries to push his cd goods off
upon you through all the
Winter season. The result is
Indifference for you, stagnation
for him. Our Modern Method
says clean up the stock with
the passing season and go
into each new season with all
things fresh.
The Modern Method also
says meet the peoples wishes
anticipate them. And so
we do, and that's the reason
you may see here this morning
a rich and great array of the
newest things in India Silks, a
great showing of Hamburg
Embroideries in harmony with
the great movements in Lin
ems and Muslin Underwear.
The bright light of the store,
the beautiful display on the
counters is far better than the
darkness and obscurity Of the
Custom House for the harbin-
gers of Spring,
This is the outline Of our
Merchandise program for jan
uary. 1t has in it the winning
elements.
Quantities of goods, great
and worthy in every offering.
Bargains with the rich flavor
of real cheapness, true econ
omy,
Novelties in the stuffs for
Dress and Household that
will entertain and surprise you
in advance of the coming sea-
son
Present gents are tie Linen
and Muslin Uudcr70car, H1ubs
and Jackets. Their afi1ac-
items slight repetition.
Coming cVenkS are great bar
gains in Dress Goods, China
Za6hca0a1rc, Carpets, Lbh0E
StetJ, Kitchen Furnishings.
Our January plans will COM
pei a merchandise movement
that will eclipse the great sue
cesses OF the past Winters.
