Another word to the good people of Alex

us a.call and to inspect the offerings we have
been making for the last few weeks, it is need
less for us to say anything in the way of ex-
panatiOn Of what we are doing Our bar
gains are more convincing than columns of
argument and our prices more eloquent than
mere words. But to those who are shy and
back ward, and who are suspicious OF sales"
gotten upnow and then by merchants to boom
business, we desire to say a few words to-day.
In the first place we want you 10 under

profit Stern necessity caused the institution
% this sale Stern necessity fixed the prices.
Stern necessity again demands a cut in prices
regardless Of the value. cost and desirability
of the Goods Wares an Merchandise we have
still on hand
TIE law says that this estate must be speed
lily wound up, and wird up is the word even
If we have to practically give the goods away.
Now, if we have convinced you that this is

enough of your confidence to have you be-
licvc that our object is to get rid of the goods
we have at any prices, we will, for the pur-
pose of convincing those who have not visited
our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE tha.
we offer the bargains of a lifetime, quote
some prices we have made on popular and de-
sirable goods. Figures we know don't lie, so
we will let them speak for themselves. Look
over our list carefully, and if you see anything
you want. cut out the advertisement, and put
you finger on the article and come to us, and
you will get the stuff exactly as advertised
To our numerous friends who have been in to
see us so often lately, we desire to say only
that this picnic can't last much longer. Make
hay while the sun shines Our loss is your
gain. A word to the wise is sufficient.

After perusing the prices given above, can
any one candid]y say that we are not ready to
make good any promise we have made? Why,
we could sell to shop.keepers at these prices;
but we prefer to give the people the benefit
of this opportunity. Our unprecedented sue
cess heretofore i'll this sale makes US anticipate

we therefore advise those who intend to take
advantage of it. to call early, so we can give
them the benefit of better choice and better
