Why Color the Facts?


Spring and Summer business The parttcu-
lar season when surplus stocks. left-overs
and mistakes Of the mercWat are to be
transferred to the public fotM perfectly good
money. at ridiculous discounts-at least the
advertising reads.
These pyrotechnic advertisements ernbel-
Iished with questionable values, made at
tractiye with comparative prices have
taught discriminating women the value OF
caution.
Caution to discriminate what to her has
enough saving in it to justify the purchase.
This knowledge cannot be accurately and
truthfully told by simply quoting higher
price (no matter what the article once sold
for) to siren CITIZEN the present price. for no
article is worth more than it Will bring.
That's why you will find SO few compare
tive prices in advertising
We prefer TO let the actual merchandise
tell the story We are satisfied to Ter our
customers Judge these values when they
see the goods. We believe their satisfac-
tion will be the greater by finding out for
themselves the intrinsic worth even during
our Clearance Sales
This Midsummer Clearance Sale Of 1915
will be the most remarkable Clearance
event in our entire history and the most
advantageous to you.
In the face of the future shortages in
many lines and the Inevitable higher
prices later in the year. propose 10
incomplete assortments and hundreds OF
small lots that take up counter and shelf
room. Besides dozens of lines of goods,
especially the apparel lines which show in
complete size ranges. or color assortments,
which time may lessen in value their style
attractiveness.
Besides this store never has carried over
from one season 10 the next any merchan-
disc which the seasons affect by style value
or through deterioration of time-and we
do not intend to change our methods NOW.
Buy now! Buy earIy-buy all you need
all YOU can proftably use-more would be

DEMOCRATS HOLD
THEIR CONVENTION

The democrats of Audubon county
met in convention in this city last
Saturday. County chairman John
Graham called the meeting to order
promptly at 11:15, and after stating
the object of the convention called
w. o. Scott and Walter Hensley OF
Extra to act as chairman and secre-
tary. An adjournment was then taken
until $3.50 at which time the conven-
ton reconvened.
About the only bushes coming be-
fore the convention was the selecting
of six delegates to the state conven-
ton which is to be held in Des
Moines July 18th. Following is the
list selected: John Riley, Extra; A.
c. Heinrich, Audubon; VIM. Northup
Leroy; r. c. Spencer. Leroy; w. M
Crees, Hamlin and John Graham, Lee
roy. The alternates selected were:
VIM. Ridgley, Leroy; r. H. Garrett
Hamlin; T. M. Rasmussen. Extra
Fallen Callasen, Douglas and w. o.
Scott, Extra.
The convention adjourned without
passing any resolutions and it has
been remarked that the democrats
were not very enthusiastic for their
national ticket or they would have
resolved to support the president.
