Great Sacrifices Made by Merchants in Order to
Convert Large Stocks of Seasonable
Merchandise into Cash.
BIG SALES COMMENCE SATURDAY, DEC. II
AND CONTINUE FOR FOUR DAYS

Merchants Unite in Tremendous Effert
to Dispose Of Large Stocks of Goods.
Prices Cut on All Goods REGARD
less of Cost.
The merchants of Warren had pre-:
pared for large business the past fall
and placed large stocks of merchandise
on their shelves in order to supply their
customers wants.. Owing to the slump
in the grain market, business has not
been as brisk as expected, and in order
to convert these goods into cash, SO
that they can square their accounts
with the wholesale houses, they have
decided to take a loss which in all
probabilities will reach 100000 They
now offer to sell their goods at such
low prices that they will move rapidly.
The Warren merchants 100000
Loss Sale will commence on Saturday,
Dec IL and continue on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, Dec. 13, IA and
Is. This issue of the Sheaf contains
the announcements, telling Of the num-
erous bargains offered. Goods have
been marked so low that it will pay
anyone to market a load or two Of
grain in order to have the cash to take
advantage of this great bargain oppor-
tunity.
When it was suggested that sale of
this kind would undoubtedly bring in
the needed cash, every merchant was
heartily in favor of taking his share Of
the 100000 loss. Here are some of
the comments made by the business
men:
Mr. c.. e. LundQuiSt-'In view Of the
conditions existing in the financial mar
ket, and for the further reason that we
cannot realize on our accounts against
the farmer customers in volume enough
to secure the funds necessary to liquid
ate our own obligations, we are forced
to sacrifice our goods on hand regard
less of their cost to us. While this is
unfortunate, we. recognize that we can
not ignore the just claims of our credi-
tors, nor can We afford at this time to
lose our good credit standing in the
business world. so we are really glad
to sacrifice enough of our stock to
alleviate the. most pressing Claims go
