A New Departure.

For a long time we have felt
the necessity of having some
centrally located counter of lib
beral proportions where, from
time to time, we would be able
to show merchandise at special
prices. At last we have secured
this space in the most convenient
part Of our store, on main floor
near elevator. The word
BARGAIN has been so much
used, as well as abused, that we
refrain from designating this
new departure as a bargain
counter, for here nothing of a
questionable worth will find a
place, and nothing will be offered
you that is not up to the high
stanard we require Of every
article we sell. We will show
here goods from our own stock
and others secured by advan-
ageous purchases from day to
day, changing as frequently as
is necessary. We want you to
make it a habit, whenever shop
ping, to drop in and see what
values can be had at our
Especial Counter"
We launch forth this new de-
partment by offered you the
following:
One case full size White
Crochet Spreads, Marseilles pat
terms, at Csc from $1.25.
10 dozen excellent quality
Bleached Sheets, size 81x90, at
65c from 75c.
