Long, circulating rumors were sud
denly confirmed today and caused a
general stir when the New York and
st. Louis Consolidated Salvage Co.
with headquarters at ST. Louis. took
charge Of the S. F. Dupree Company's
establishment at Yazoo City. Miss.
The company. having BEEF appointed
receiver of the stock Of the we'll
known and reputed firm, will iiquidate
the entire s2S, 900 stock at retail by
means of a tremendous public Re
%ceiver's Sale" News to this effect has
met with surprise in all circles. but
will undoubtedly be welcomed by the
entire buying public, which thus will
evade paying regular prices for their
wares. and will have, at the height of
the Christmas season, an opportunity
to saw many a dollar such as has new
er been offered before. In adjusting
the outstanding claims, unable to meet
the liabilities, the firm of S. F. DuRree
Company submitted a statement as to
its standing to the respective cred
itors, and at a meeting of these cred
itors, it was resolved to appoint a re-
ceiver of the stock to protect the eut-
standing claims, and thereby avoid the
heavy court costs which another bank
ruptcy proceeding necessarily would
entail.
The New York and ST. Louis Con-
solidated Salvage Company, one of the
best known and largest sales organi-
cations in existence, with offices and
in almost every large city
in the United States, has been en-
with the ~receivership. and,
after depositing a bond fixed at $780,
900, was given complete charge of the
affairs. and is now in possession of
the S. F. Dupree Company stock at
.azoo City, Miss. Under the condi-
ion of the agreements the total claims
be l~iQuidated on or before De-
,ember 25, 1909, and ~forfeits have
cen fixed to this effect. 1t will be
that in the spring of this
goods nee filed a petition in bank
'uptcy but re-established itself after
satisfied all claims. This new
difficulty has brought about the COM
,lete and permanent dissolution of the
firm and the interested parties
lave decided to leave Yazoo City.
With them we los our best and most
dry goods house-the lines
by them have always been of
very highest standard only and
would have done credit to the biggest
ind most exclusive stores Of a large
.ity. and it is with general regret thai
'ur ladies see this firm part. The
'toek and extremely high-class mer-
;handise handled by S. F. Dupree Com
amy is sufficiently known, and when
his stock will be thrown on the mar
an unparalleled rush is expected,
md without a doubt the entire stock
will be exhausted and closed out be-
ore the set termination Of the sale.
One can hardly conceive of the sac
ifce prices which will be placed up
n every item in a department.
of people from tho sur
ounding country are expected to con-
in Yazoo City during the
Out Sale. It's tremendous size
nd wonderful extravaganza can only
re believed in the actual seeing. A
reat many of our citizens have al
eady expressed themselves as having
nade up their minds to attend, and
'azoo City has an enterprise so ire
1endous in it's size been organized as
) this one.
To accomplish this huge talks of dis
osing of the entire stock before De-
ember "a, 1909, the already famous
concern is bending all it's eff
orts and sparing no expense to thor.
ughly advertise this Public Receiv-
Sale. The fact that the ate this
ale is to commerce has been set for
14th of December clearly shows
DIV matters stand, and that no time is
be wasted. The store is now closed
| order to get this stock in such shape
) to throw it open to the public on
day.
