The Exceptionally Notable
Movement of Dry Goods and
House FURNISHINGS

has proved itself in three distinct ways in the
two wonderful weeks it has been in progress
First-It has been boon to the city and the
country adjacent thereto.
SecOnd-Several hundreds of letters. tele-
grams and copies of advertising pages have been
sent to inform us of similar undertakings of
brother storekeepers.
Third-The storekeepers selling down their
stocks at flat discount have joined with us as
cash purchasers at the mills and commission
houses, and paid cash, for lower prices, aiding,
in a measure, to ease the money market.
Our customers get the advantage, when we
are able to make lower prices as we turn over
the goods, and at a price based on exactly what
we pay, to which we add our customary profit.
and then when sold take off the one-fifth.
1t is time now for business people to unite in
impressing upon makers of merchandise that q
long'patient public must have it's turn in some
evident concessions in the prices of all classes of
goods, as well as the usual fashion reductions at
this season of the year.
