conditions very unfavorable, a great
number OF people have driven rs and
30 miles to avail themselves of the
wonderful bargains which haye been
offered.
Mr.. Stevens, who is an expert adj
vertising man, attributes the success
OF the sale to extensive advertising.
He wishes to call the attention of the
people to the hand bills being dis
tributed, to the newspaper adver-
tisements and TO the show windows
at the Golden Rule store. During
the last days of the sale, which closes
Saturday, April 9th, there will be a
great many new opportunities for
thrifty purchasers.

the sale Is to close out number of

portant changes, which will be an
nounced later.
