Friday, August 2, 1895. Ike Hoz0laua-S1aak Lo0a- baal1, By1agxboyt, Gonn.

Messrs S1ason & Russell give up the book and station cry store. 354 Main street, Bridgeport, and we have bought the stock. We are not going to mix this stock with ours, but sell 1t at such prices as Slason & Russell would have laughed at
 We shall pile it on tables and counters, mark them Sla- son & Russell stock, and every separate book and piece of stationery with it's price. And how shall we say it2 We mean to get rid of the whole stock in a week or two.
 The sale will begin We'd |nesday, August Z. We can't possibly get ready before that day.
 Silk, wool and cotton dress goods have been turnbling so for the past few weeks that there remains little to be done now. Prices are so low now that nobody ever goes away without buying, if they find what they want. At the same time the variety of goods is very great.
 An army of buyers has been going through our shoe stock. Sort after sort has dwindled, gone on bargain tables, and gone out at half and three quarters. Many sorts to go yet. Mems, women's and children's.
 Women's capes are marked way down. The best of them were 4o.oo and 5000; now IS dollars.
 Silk waists at and 5 dol lars and a half apiece; 5, 5 and 7 dolla1 kinds; wash silk, China silk, taffeta silk. You may come early, you can't come too soon.
