 Our annual clearance and discount sale begins tomorrow. Don't fail to take advantage of it. We have cut prices from ten to twenty per cent. on everything in the store. Despite the advance in the cost of all mer- chandise we have kept down our prices to such an extent that ten per cent discount means as big saving to the purchaser as 25 per cent represents in most stores. A glance at our stock and prices will convince you of the truth of this statement. I. J. Birnbaum.-adVt
