 OF VALUES

It is well known fact our annual Cotton and Linen sale, taking place during February, has become reccg- nized time for housekeepers to replen- ish their stocks. The onslaughts of previous years have encouraged us in the greater efforts to make this sale larger than ever, in the face of an ad- vancing market. The incomings of Cottons and Linens have been enor- nous to save the advance. The ad- vantage and saving is yours, for the prices at which we intend to sell our large stock will be lower than last year. In our store is one hundred and twenty-three thousand yards Q23, OOO) of Bleached and Brown Cottons, comprising shirting, skirtings, pillow casing, sheetings and fine muslin, which we offer to you at 10 per cent less than to days manufacturers quo tations.
