Guess you'll have to admit that
at least one store in Minot is

No wonder the stores crowded
all day long when Keavin is Civ

going for 25 cents. You'll soon
have to start the lads in school

with one of those $3.50 suits
that are selling at 1926.
And thus the bargains run,
hundreds of them, too many to

Now, don't put off the buying
too long. After the end of the

1t is seldom that a city the
size OF Minot aft ords SO beauti
full and SO large a store as our
city can boast OF in Keavin's de.
partment store, which is con.
Quoting at this time a big sacri.
flee sale. The big store is visit
ell by throngs Of customers ev-
cry day, and a large number OF
extra statesmen and ladies have
been secured. Mr.. Keavin real
es that the time to advertise is
in what otherwise would prove
to be a dull time, besides he
is greatly overstocked for this
time OF the year. Mr.. Keavin's
goods have been marked right
down to the limit and It's seldom
that SO new and fresh a stock OF
up-to-date goods is slashed in
the manner that this stock has
been cut.
The big sale opened Tuesday,
July 16, and willcontinue for two
weeks from that time. Shop

man remarked that he's saved

sides he'd have an opportunity
of spending a day or two in the

Mr.. Keavin believes in letting
the people know OF many Of the
good bargains he has to offer,
and in all OF the weekly papers

and can be run for very much less.
One reason for this il that in . steam
yacht the engines, boilers. coal bankers
and crew accommodations occupy con-
siderable space in the hull " the vessel,
while in a motor boat there ara no boilers
and the motor will require about half the
space OF a steam engine. There are no
coal bunkers, the gasolene being stored
in the tanks below the deck, and cunse-
quently there il more room for the owner
and his guests.
In figuring the cost OF running a steam
yacht and comparing il with a vessel pro-
PEELED by a gasolene motor there IL a great
saving in favor Of the gasolene boat. On
a steam yacht a licensed captain and a
licensed engineer are necessary. They are
not needed on a small gasolene boat. The
engine requires such little attention that one
man can look after il. No firemen are re-
quiged to shovel coal into the furnaces and
the engineer is often a man who can handle
h craft and attend to the motor at the
same time.
