the price of all things that men wear
at the FearnsIde Clothing company's
store. Mr.. Fearnside says that he
has for once in his life bought too
many goods; that he bought almost

that while his trade has been a long
ways better than last year the in
crease does not appear to justify his
unusually heavy purchases, and
that he doesn't propose to take any
risks. He has therefore made sweep
ing reductions in all departments

store disappointed with the price"
