It. means that vt have watched the market close, and go the best goods for the least money Any man can get trade but every man can't keep it. WE KEEP OUKS.

Do you know that prices may go so low as to go laughin8ly low? It's a rather comical idea, but we can give you the best evil dence of it's truth. We have put lot of $50 Overcoats into our TWELVE DOL LAR lot, it's rediculous, but it's true. We have filled our south show window with fine Puff Scarfs, $1.oO, $1.25, $l.5O, you choice for 50 cents. Sometimes @ little blood letting doesn't hurt a patient: sometimes little cutting in prices has an invigorating effect on trade.
