A GIGANTIC
UNDERT TAKING
The Slaughter Sale BY eleven &
Hanson the Big Event OF the
Year in Minot.

The people Of Minot and sur
rounding country will be ben.
Gifted greatly by the tremendous
sacrifice sale OF eleven 4 Hanson
which will be placed on sale be-
ginning Friday March9 alta. M.
eleven & Hanson informs us
that the prices quoted on their
stock is in many instances less
than they could purchase the
same at the factory in case lots.
Their reasons, so they say. Tor
making this greatsacrifice is that
owing to theex tremelv backward
fall season they find themselves
overstocked and are forced to
realize alarge sum ofmoney, and
in order to do SO quickly, will
give the people OF Minot and Vi
entity their entire profit during
this great moneyraising sacrifice
sale. This sale will surely prove
a great boon to the people who
are never slowto take advantage
OF an opportunity such as this
great sacrifice will afford.
eleven 4 Hanson say thatthey
hssve prepared for an immense
crowd OF people, having engaged
fifteen extra salespeople in order
to be able to serve all properly.
We bespeak for them. a record
breaking business during the
sale, as they have never carried
any excepting, the most reliable,
dependable. merchandise.
We expect to see hundreds OF
people in attendance at this great
sale. as the public knows that.
when eleven 4 Hanson say they
viii give the people great bar
gains they may well believeit for
their reputation for truth and
square dealing is knownfor miles
around. Its safe to say that a
sale such ;ls this comes but once
in q life time and the public will
no doubt buy out the majority
OF the combined clothing and
ary goods stock quickly.
The store will beciosed WedDes-
day and Thursday March S and
9 20 mark and arrange the stock
and will not be opened for 'busi-
ness until the opening day OF the
sale which starts Friday, March
