side Clothing company of reduced
prices on all lines of gentlemen's
wearing apparel has resulted in Il
tremendous trade for that company.
1t is unusual for merchants to an
nounce a reduction in prices until

early in December, with the result
that trade is making heavy inroads
on the big stock.
This company carries one of the
largest, best selected stocks of mems

stock contains only the best union
made goods, and runs from the high
