We must get out of the Washington building at once-theres

Smoot Bros. and Rogers have been in business in Salisbury
many years and their reputation for first class goods and fair,
square dealing is well known. Therefore every man, woman and
lchild will know this is a bona fde sale and a sale that means just
what it says. We are going to do exactly what we say we will
lido. Remember it's the greatest cutting, slashing, smashing, break
|ngup and going out-of:business sale ever precipitated in the
History of Salisbury.
1t is perhaps the last chance you will ever have to buy goods
from the old and reliable firm. The store is now closed to mark

the veriest landslide of values. We must get out quick and
