UNLOADING SALE AT

The unloading sale of the Boston
Cloak Store az No. 42i Market street.

was caused by the store being over
stocked AT the beginning of the sea-

greatest business i'm the history of he
store. but owing to the mild weather.
which has prevailed during the last
three months. sales did NOT move
rapidly enough TO dispose of the extra
large stock, although the general
business far exceeded that of pre-
vious years.
Those who visited the ssore
this morning were surprised to find
goods at the price which they were
offered Nearly every article has
been cut from % to so per cent. and
