A careful buyer is usually on the
lookout for bargains, and usually
watches the daily papers. Whether
they are buying at wholesale or retail
they are familiar with prices. Krusch-
Ike in today's Herald announces a
clearing sale of seasonable and up-to-
date goods at prices that should close
out the entire lot of goods in ten
days. The careful buyer will soon
learn that no house can sell these
goods as advertised and come out
even by long ways. The sale will
interest every one far and near, as il
means closing out a big stock at a
sacrifice. Extra clerks have been en-
gagged to wait on the people promptly.
