The Hnzelton Failnre.

One mans loss is another's gain. A
large clothing firm in New York was re-
Gently closed up by the sheriff. The stock
was sold at public auction and was bought
by H. Friedlander & Brother, of Ninth and
Z streets northwest. They at once moved
it here and commenced gigantic sale at
Al cents on the dollar. The stock was \
10000 one. and is all this years goods,
and good quality. II. A. Hazelton & Co.
were well known for keeping 7ery high
grade goods. A chance is rarely offered to
the public OF buying new and stylish goods
at prices like these. Think of it. Mems
Si2 Cashmere Suits for S5, or Mems
Clay Worsted Suits for S6.S5. Not old
stock, remember. but brand new, per
fectly made, this fails styles. Then again,
Mems Cashmere Pants for Sl.50 and
Pure Wool Cheviots for S1.60. Such
prices read like a fairy tale, but the
clothes are there, and ali you haze TO do
is to go and look to be convinced There
is Boys and Children's Clothing, too. at
equally low prices, for instance: Chill
dren's Strictly Atwood Suits sor Sl.60.
or Deep Cape Overcoats for ST 30.
Mothers of small boys will find this
sale grand opportunity TO fit item out
for next to nothing. There are hundreds of
Mems and Boys Overccats, too. Kerseys,
Meltons, Cbeviots, every kind and every
style.
We warrant that stock won't stay long
