pairing, begins this morning. 1t is the
~ "round-up" OF all the wreckage from the past
half years great business, the waits overlooked in
holiday confusion, the broken, soiled, shopworn,
tumbled stuff gathered into little groups in every
section and department OF the store and marked at
prices that in way represent the real value OF the
goods in their less damaged condition.
Indeed some of the lots not damaged at all but
included in this sale because they the last of
their kind, and being remnants, clutter the stock
take up valuable room-and so we would be rid of
them even at a sacrifice.
The sale begins this morning
have said, but if any lots part lots left the
same prices will be continued tomorrow and next
day. 1t should be remembered however, that the
Pkums always gathered first, the choicest bits
always taken by the first corners and so the
son why you should be here early is obvious
enough.
