LOCAL AFFAIRS.
July Sale Extraordinary.

With midsummer comes, usually, a
slowing down of business, trade stag
nation, which brings despair TO the mer-
chant and vacation to his clerks. But
not to all merchants. Those who adver-
tise for and seek trade in midsummer
find it, more 80 if they make buying easy
by reason of attractive prices. Each
July, Mcigs 81 Co., have held a sale of
seasonal leI clothing which has brought q
renewed flow of business to the store and
sent buyers home with real bargain
clothing for immediate wear, but at end
of-the-sea on prices. This, year the sale
promises to be more attractive than ever,
owing to the wide range of selection Of
fered and the lowness of the prices on the
tags. The policy of the store, to carry
nothing over to another season, is respon-
sible for the lopped-off prices, and every
man and boy, especially the long-legged
BOYS who wear extended trousers, are in
vited to step in and select the particular
bargains as taste and purse dictate. The
sale opens Friday July 10, and with cool
and spacious store and with host Of ex-
perienced statesmen, with prices almost
down to zero on high-temperature
clothes, buying ia made convenient, com.
Portable and easy.
