Asch S Son, who formerly were proprietors of the Bell clothing store, In the borough, will open next Wednesday, At 03 Main street, In Kemp's block, oppo- site the Mineral Springs mill, ten days sale of clothing. Many large wholesale clothing houses, who manufacture large quantities of clothing, were unable to sell their goods on account of the business de- precision. With failure staring them in the face they very gladly accepted the very low offer of E. Aseh Son, who had the spot cash ready to pay for the goods. A large quantity of desirable clothing was thus secured by E. Asoh & Son at their own prices. Never in the history Of man have such bargains been off red. They have rented the building for ten days and will sell this clothing at less than one- third It's value. Every dollars worth of clothing must be turned into cash within ton days. Remember, this stock will be sold without reserve, without restriction, without any consideration of the cost of production, and the prices will bring eve " man and woman, within sixty miles of this place, to secure these bargains. B. Asch X Sons name Is n sufficient guaran- tee that the goods will be sold as adver- tised. Remember, the sale will last only ten days, opening next Wednesday at a. m. Be on hand when the doors open. Gar fare paid to out-of-town customers. For prices see bills.
