On November 10th, the New York
Store Mercantile Co.. started sale,
stating that it would be a twenty
day event and promising the biggest
bargains the good people of Central
City have ever known. How well they
have kept their promise is matter
OF history. The nucleus of the sale
was the j. N. Rachofsky stock of
Black Hawk, to which, however, the
entire 100000 stock of the New York
Store was added. That they have sold
as much in one day as is frequently
sold here in the biggest stores in a
month, indicates public appreciation
and approval The sale has been q
success. Many thousands upon thous-
ands of dollars worth of goods turn
ed into cash, and the stock reduced
to normal condition through great
loss financially. OF course this thing
could not be continued indefinitely.
The storekeeper must make profits
or else he could not exist. And SO
the New York Store desires us to
make this announcement, that the
sale ends with the month.
Friday, Saturday. Monday and Tues
day, the 26, 27, 80 and 80 are to be
the greatest bargain days as the
