\ u T u M N is
IL knocking at the
door and every
thing that belongs to sum-
mer must be sold to make
room for the new fail
things which are about
arriving.
The prompt and speedy
clearance of summer
goods can only be man
aged by making such
prices as will encourage a
large present want or an
ticipation Of future need.
There are mark downs in
almost all departments, a
cutting of prices in al
most all lines. Well not
wait till summer and the
call for summer things is
ended, we look ahead a
bit and our forecasting is
to your great advantage.
Parasols for example.
Too late you'll say.
But isn't September al
ways hot? Think Of the
saving on what you will
be asked to pay next
May! We've knitted the
price deep on Parasols,
all kinds. We'd rather
have a fraction of their
cost in cash now than
pack them away.
Same way with two or
three lines Of Neglige
Shirts. The counter
! room that they take up
is too valuable, down so
the prices and there is
no apology for broken as
sentiments or odd sizes,
the choice is as good as
it has ever been. +
These two examples
will do to indicate the
prevailing spirit Of the
selling here. A dollar
goes a long way nova
days and the early corners
get the best always.
