Whitman & Adams Co.'S large ad
tells the story of blasted and frag-
mcntary prices for seasonable and
stylish goods. The days are hot, but
when wise merchants hear in the dis
lance the drone and hum of insects
that follow the haying season and por-
tend short days and cool weather, the
knife grasses profits and cuts even
deeper. This Is the time to buy. One
article emphasizes the fact. Sample
white waists that sold for $3.50 and
$500, now being sold for only $1.49. A
hard story to believe, but call and see.
Russell & Weston have a pure all
linen crash they sell at so low price
one can hardly believe the weavers
were paid much for making the goods.
All Is call and see this II inch wide, all
linen, bleached crash, they today sell at
only &C. per yard. Another surprise is
SO and 81 lawn shirtwaists being sold
for only $1.S7. Also kimonas they
have sold for 81 and $1.25, now being
sold for only SOC. Tell your friends
that here has been inaugurated one of
the greatest mark down clearance
sales for July to be found on the river.
You know Buckley &c Goodrich's sue
cess when they undertake one of their
grand clearance sales. This may sound
funny to them to speak of such a
slaughter of prices and obliterating OF
prifits, as being q success. but they like
the public to appreciate their efforts at
unloading summer goods when the time
comes to loose sight of profits. Crowds
in the store, on such occasions, buying
at these very low prices, make a sue
cess in one sense. All they ask is for
you to read their lad" and remember
they never before made such low prices
as they now quote for July.
