Guaranteed just the same as when we were getting 10000.

About this time every year we prepare for large sales in linens, blankets, bed spreads, sheets, pillow cases, curtains and general house keeping goods. This years sale is now in force, and we assure all good housekeepers that it is for their interest to buy; for it isn't at all likely that prices can be repeated as long as the new tariff stands.
 This is especially true of linens. The duty on these goods is now from 20 to 50 per cent higher, and there is no chance in sight to touch such low figures again.
