PRICES OF WOOLENS
AND SILKS CHEAPER
SAYS Mr.. ANDERSON
WILL HAVE SOME EXCEPTIONAL
BARGAINS IN THE LADIES'
READY-TO-WEAR.
Buyer for Big Firm Of McKennon,
Anderson & Foster Tells of What
He Has Been Doing in Nations Me-
ropols-Columbia Physician.

Yes, silks and woolens are cheap
err this season than they have been,
replied Eugene Anderson, the buyer
from McKennon, Anderson & Foster,
who returned this morning from a
months visit to the markets of New
York City.
I'VE will be able to sell dress goods
and suits cheaper as the result Of the
decline in value. We have some
splendid bargains in the ready-to-
wear suits that we can sell at SIS,
that heretofore $40 was the reasona-
price .....
And the same reduction, although
perhaps not so great is noted III the
silks. And by the way we will have
this season the most complete and
attractive line and the greatest varie-
ty of silks that we have ever had
since the firm has been in business.
There seems to me to be more beau
tiful styles in silks than | have ever
seen and | believe that the ladies will
agree with me when they see the
stock that l bought. Our line OF
ready-to-wear at reasonable prices,
that are within the reach of all, will
oil annual tn thorn
And our selection of millinery Is
the best that we have ever brought
here. The styles are not extreme,
but are most attractive and the yari-
ETY. is unusually large giving wide
range for selection, for you know that
almost every woman wants a hat
alike almost every other woman.
"The fact that struck me most for.
chilly about the trade in New York
this season was the scarcity of buy.
ers there. In all the years that
have been buying goods in the ma
tons metropolis / have never seen
buyers as scarce in August as they
were during the past month. 1t is
difficult to assign reason for this
and l am inclined to think many OF
them have gone elsewhere. Howev-
er, the fact that there were no more
buyers enabled those of us who were
there to get perhaps better prices on
many lines than otherwise we would |
have been ahle to secure.
while Of course, owing to our
crowded quarters, could not buy as
many goods as | would have like to
have purchased, | did devote more
lime and thought to selection than
ever before with the result that our
stock will more than make up in
quality and variety what it may lack
n volume.
