usual amount of space to one advertising

that our patrons win be benefited by
the extraordinary bargain announce

of reading matter, which we believe
they will be able TO do il they avail
themselves of the opportunity offered in
this midsummer clearance sale. Man

This think is good thing and Supt.
Brindley deserves credit for his progress

people who see your item might think
that we were step behind ! wish TO
