Ladies will revel in among the shirt waists and suits, and among the ginghams and dress goods of summer weaves. while the sober minded man will count dol lars saved as he purchases the new refrigerator, or the new shoes, or h'c extra trousers, or summer suit. Usual ly these sales are conducte solely with view of catching the particular eyes and pochetbooks of the ladies, but the men have been Is well taken care of as the gentler sex.
 Every item of the grant removal sale is of interest. Read it through, and having done this leisurely as you read your Sunday Review, just take your pencil and mark what you would like to have. and then on MondaS morning step into the Big Store, and make your purchases just as adver- tised.
 This sale will appeal especially also 10 out of town residents. where pos sibiy they are quite well served by their local stores, but the advantage of having store of the proportions of the Copper Queen. in which to make selections, is a distinct advantage. and the prices will amply repay the tlmc and expense of coming to Bisbee to shop.
