Our August sales compare favorably
with busy June. Perhaps our two
big stores wouldn't be so busy if it
were not for the little prices we are
quoting on some big snaps, for which
n. & K are constantly on the alert.
People know, when we advertise men,
suits at $3.50 and $500 that other
dealers must get $12 for, that we are
prepared to back our claim. Is it any
wonder, then. these suits are meeting
with such a ready sale

by the council, and j. C.. McHart, its
owner, has sold the structure to w.

tract reserves the cornerstone for the

to the sale are mystcriOusly reticent
as to the use to be made of the mate
rial in the old church.
