 pose of. It is a fine display of winter goods and the mark down is a piece of enterprise on the part of Meigs & Co.,, as a proof of it's most cordial relations with wage earners, from whom liberal share of it's patronage has come. This conces- sion sale will commence tomorrow, Fri day, and continue indefinitely. The op- portunity to secure bargains is rare one. This firm will give $1000 to the person who can find one article of merchandise in the store (except E. & W. collars and cuffs and their Columbia white laundered shirt) that has not been markek down.
