It is fact that the Franklin on the same amount

A few days ago I was notified by wire by about half dozen of the largest manufacturers in New York of women's coats. misses suits and dresses, to meet them iimm1ediately in that city as they had something unusually good to offer. immediately went to New York and there I was shown by these various manufacturers the greatest aggregation of fine coats, suits and dresses for wom- en that l have ever seen, many of them were samples but most of them were cancellations from other cities in the United States. These cancellations were made by merchants who had gotten scared and were afraid to take the mer- chandise after it was made up. These manufacturers needed the money and needed it badly as they had entirely too much tied up in these ready made garments and I can say to you people in Birmingham that this merchan- disc, including stylish suits, coats and dresses for women was bought by me for less price than l have ever paid before in my mercantile history for such garments, and now offer you an opportunity of making your selec- tion from these garments and paying a lesser price than you have ever thought of paying. The opportunity presented itself to the same opportunity to you and you should certainly not let 1t pass by you. If you do you are going to regret it. So come early tomorrow.
