Mrs Charles II. Parkhurst, who is an

DissO, ution Sale.

We are tired of saying
that this dissolution of
partnership sale is the
greatest opportunity on
earth.
We are not delighted at
having to sell at 40 per
cent off regular prices, but
the necessity of turning
the stock of clothing into
cash before December n
necessitates the cut.
On that date the disso-
luton takes place and the
settlements will be made
in CASH. Hence this
sale at 40 per cent off.
TO you it simply means
the saving OF exactly 10
per cent on your winter
suits, trousers, and top
coats.
The sale does not really
include the Furnishings
Department, yet we have
reduced its prices in pro-

ed grave doubt when told about the speed
that could be got out OF them. To convince
him, he was invited to take the back seat
Of a quad during a twenty miles run on the
North road.
The Yank accepted, and the machine was
soon under way, three OF the riders putting
III every ounce in order to make good time.
By and by they began to think that the
work was much harder than usual, and the
stcersman muttered something about the
rear ride n being dead one. Still the crew
pegged away, and at last reached their
destination, every man more baked than
another.
