se Possibly should not have expected as much patronage you have given us for in these days of deception it Is hard for merchants in the busi to tell the values of clothing any than they could the value of discount unless they carried it. If you will carefully read from day to day the adver tisements of great many of the merchants in the newspapers which circulate through this section you will find that many of them will offer to sell you for less than the cost of production the very finest grade of merchandise almost any day in the year. In the past merchants and advertisers could make these claims and get the business. But today the Ameri- people longer attracted by them unless they have good and legitimate reason for giving you the values they tell you they have for it's the leg macy of clothing sale and nothing else under the sun that brings it patronage and makes 1t popular
 BUT THIS IS A REAL SALE.
 We have for over p years been with you and have always held your confidence. Nothing shows more clearly how deeply have gained it than the crowds that continue to pour into store. Although we very desrious of dsposng of surplus of stock we do not intend by any exaggeration in advertising to lose that confidence
 All we want is cash for our stock want 1t good and quick and we are now going to get it. We are going to make Thursday and Friday of this week the biggest yet of this great sale.
 We nor any else can't perform miracles or won ders. But we've got the goods we've got the prices and those two alone what will get for us full months business in two days.
