If we were not in the Dry Goods business, we would be just like you--put off buying light weight goods till we needed them. The weather hasn't cried out for them yet, but it will after awhile; that is one hope we have of ultimately getting rid of the big stock of Summer Fabrics we have or hand, but a good mer- chant does not thrive on hope he acts. The present is the most important time to him. Our stock is beautiful--but there Is not such a bond of affection be- tween it and us that we are will ling to keep it. The jingle of hard dollars is pleasanter than the possession of a beautiful stock of goods. Now for this summers trade, we want your patronage. and we will get it if you know the value of your dol- lars and where they will procure the most for you.
