IVY the rush of people who've
pulled and hauled this stock away,
and the only reason we've got an
overcoat left to offer to-da is, be-
cause among our three stores we had
such an immense quantity to start
with.
We marked down to $40 even the
long stylish black and blue kerseys
with cashmere Innings as well asother
colorS, determined that not one should
survive the sale, ana not one shall.
Of those that were originally re-
duced to $40 there are few left, but
there are lots of the better ones
originally reduced to SIS and now
finally to $40.
If you come early enough that's
what you can get now for $40.
