There has been much talk, and truthful talk too,
of the strong advances on all cotton goods.
They have advanced very much. We are in
formed they will advance more. Notwith-
standing, we are in position to quote prices
with very little advance, and on some Of the
goods none whatever. This is possible by
reason Of the fact that we were able to handle
quantity and get the lowest price as well as all
cash discounts. We are selling a full width

BIG DEPARTMENT
STORE DAMAGED
LOVEMAN, JOSEPH G. LOEB SUE
FER LOSS OF ABOUT $4,000 FROM
WATER POURING FROM ROOF.
NO INSURANCE.

Loveman, Joseph & Loeb suffered a
loss yesterday of about $4,000 by reason of
damage by water from the heavy rain
fall which poured through the roof Of
their store while it was being repaired.
Stock to some extent was damaged down
to the ground floor. The heaviest loss
however, occurred in the book depository
on the fourth floor, directly under the
unprotected roof. Water there was more
than six inches deep on the floor. The
cloak room underneath was also
drenched.
But for the prompt work of about 100
of the employees the damage, 1t is said
would have been considerably greater.
On the roof some of the employees quick
ly spread torpaulins. while others had
all they could do gathering up goods
and sweeping the water from the front of
the store.
The loss is not covered by insurance
