same at the factory in case lots.
Their reason for making this great
sacrifice sale, is that they are heav-
lily overstocked, and desire to raise
large sum Of money quickly, so
they consider it good business judg-
ment to cut loose and unload the
entire stock right now for whatever
it will bring, just when the people
are in need Of the goods, and they
have therefore inaugurated this
mighty closing-out sale Of their
Spring Stock in order to convert ev-
cry dollars worth of goods into cash,
no matter how great the loss might
be. % r
The Kelly Sales Systems Repre-
sentatives are now in charge of the
entire store, re-arranging and mark
ing down at their own prices. as the

structions to them were to close out

no matter how great the loss might
be-
This will give the people OF Minot
and surrounding country some of the
greatest bargains ever placed before
h. public in history of North Dakota
m rchandising This sale will surely
prove to be a great boon to the PEG
pie who are never slow in taking
advantage OF an, opportunity such as
this mighty stock reduction sale will
afford, and from the large number
of people inquiring about the sale,
and waiting for the opening day, it
bespeaks of them doing a record
breaking business.
This reliable firm has never car
ried any except the most dependable
and highest class Of merchandise,
and we expect to see hundreds of
people in attendance daily, during this
great sale, as the people realize when
they can purchase high grade mer-
chandise at less than manufacturer
cost, it is high time they grasped the
chance. 1t is safe to say a sale such
as this comes but once in a life time,
and the public will no doubt buy out
the combined stock quickly.
A large force of extra sales people
are in attendance, to be able to serve
all quickly and as it is evident that
there will be rare bargains offered,
we expect to see the B. & r. Cloth
ing Company's store a Mecca for
hundreds of bargain seekers during
the next ten days. Bader & Rozen
tells us the sale will positively close
on Saturday, April 81, 1912.-Advt.

For the week Of May 90, the Fargo
Theatrical Co. will present a bill that
is sure to please everybody. The big
~headliner for the first three days is
Max Wits Four Harmonious Girls,
who sing nicely and play on several
different instruments.
Then there is the comedy oddly
team of owen & Hoffman in The Green
Eyed Monster, which is excruciatingly
funny.
Schoenne, Trip & Schoenne form a
trio that do wonderful aerial novelty
that is always pleasing. The Richards,
the two clever little people who have
long delighted the audiences will APP
pear in a new song.
Mae Ross. n of the best single
turn condolences on the American
stage will be seen in her character
work and always gets a hand.
For the last half of the week there
is the great act that will please chill
dren and grown people alike. 1t Is
the Dave Woods troupe of dogs and
monkeys, and the intelligent animals
do everything but talk.
Shaw & Lee will appear in some

capades have stirred even Paris to ex-
element. From then forward the plot
bubbles with all the ingenious hap
penings that are crowded into a French
farce and poor Dondidier has an w
full time. But it is good. merry fun,
with MOI a suggestion Of anything but
wholesome amusement and its surprises
are so frequent that the audience is
kept in an uproar.
Klaw e. Erlanger have made a real
" notable production of this delightful
story. It's three scenes are maryels
of good taste and color harmony and
the blending of the costumes into the
scenes but make them the more tone
full and effective. With all these gor@
geous details considered it is not sur
prising that The Pink Lady has en-
3oyed the most phenomenal vogue of
any similar piece ever made known to
the American stage.
A matter Of further charm is the
fact that The Pink Lady orchestra
comes with the organization to bring
out every subtle note and quality Of
the score.
The company is an unusually large
one, the principals are named for their
individual fitness to the roles to be
portrayed rather than any regard as
to former rating or standing in their
field. In the cast viii be found: John
E. Young, olga DeBaugh, Marguerite
Wright, OctaNia Broske, Josie Intro
