THIS LAST WEEK OF OUR
SEMI-ANNUAL
CLEARING SALE
Before Stock Taking Will Be Aug
mented by a FOur-day
REM NANT SALE,
WHICH BEGAN TO-DAY.
The next few days will be
exceedingly profitable to all
who take advantage of the very
low prices that will prevail on
seasonable goods for personal
and household uses. During
our midsummer clearing sale
reductions have been general
and on large lots. This will
continue all the week. The
end in view-which is to get
the stocks down to a minimum
by Saturday. July 2S, invento-
ry day-stimulates still further
reductions. These you'll find
in all departments. To still
further our object we have
marked all remnants-broken
and scattered lots, odds and
ends, broken sizes, short
lengths, &c.-at
Unusually Low Prices.
The unusually brisk trade of
the past week caused by the
stock-taking clearance sale has
left us with stacks of remain
ders, small lots, odd sizes, brok-
en- assortments, things mussed,
soiled, or clipped from hand
ling, &c. We are naturally
doubly anxious to close out all
such goods this week, as we
take inventory of stock next
Saturday, so they bear prices
that are wonderfully low. Look
for REMNANTS at any de-
partment, and you'll not be
disappointed. We haven't
space to give you a detailed
description of all the bargains,
but there are hundreds on the
center tables.
