HERE is THE SECRET.
Why Mr.. Ben Bear went to Chicago
last week-A Heavy Purchase.

As most of the readers of this paper
know, / made hasty trip to Chicago
on last Wednesday night, for the pur-
pose of attending the auction sale of
Kuh, Nathan d Fischer Clothing Co.
This well known firm some weeks ago
decided to go out of business, and letters
to that effect We're sent out to all the
prominent retail clothing merchants of
the country, that their entire stock
would be sold at auction, in their
premises. The senior members of the
firm of Messrs. Kuh, Nathan & Fischer
are going to retire from business, and
the younger members will continue.
In order to make clean sweep of all
their goods and turn them into cash
they decided, as stated above, to sell the
goods at auction. / was promptly on
hand, and SO were good many other
merchants, but most of them from
the larger cities, who bought very ex-
tensively, Rothschild, of Chicago, Hill
man, of Chicago, Burrows, of Duluth,
and The Palace, of st. Paul, and others
of equal prominence were represented
there. DEBORAH, although very much
smaller, was right in line with these
large city buyers, and while my pur-
chrses were not as much as the others,
| still / bought big lot of these goods,
as they sold at from 40 to so cts. on the
dollar. This is really the only thing
that took me to Chicago. / also pur-
| chased from H., S. & M. big lot of
goods which they were willing to sell
out at very low figure; and at the
same time ordered made fine lot of
neckwear for our Christmas trade, from
the well known firm of Wilson Bros.
l simply want to say to our customers
and friends they must not in justice to
themselves spend a single cent for
suits, overcOats, ulsters, or anything
else which we have to sell, unless they
come here and see the immense lot of
bargains which are being offered during
this December clothing sale' of ours.
We run our business somewhat differ
ent from other people, that is to say,
when we buy anything cheap, our GUS
toners will get it cheap. We do not
mark it up, but we will sell these goods
purchased at this very low price, just
! at little advance, at sort Of live-and-
let-live profit. Our store will be crowd
ed from early morning until late at
night. We can say with all candor we
have been in business for nearly 25
years, and while we always offer bar
gains, still this is one of the exceptional
chances, and our friends will do well
not to wait too long, before the choice
of the goods are selected.
| During December our store will be
topen until o'clock p. m. Please call
as soon as convenient. Yours truly,
L.. BEN BEAR,
