BIG MONEY TO BUYERS.
Duke Magruders Figure Patrons Will
 Profit $4,O00 to s5,000.

It isn't often that business house deliberately starts out to give away money. but that's what the Duke-Ma- during their big reduction sale, which starts Thursday.
 The firm has announced straight reduction of % per cent an all lines q goods and on the volume of busi- ness ordinarily handled at this sea- son of the year President Fred Duke estimates between $4,000 and S5,00O store.
 Not only will goods be sold at q 20 per cent reduction but in many cases they will go at much less than the original cost. This is the first sale of the company offering goods at such a remarkable reduction. The loss the hrm suffers on the difference in prices will be to the advantage of the patrons put the management figures that this loss will more than be offset by the increased good will of the trade.
 Some lines of the big store's stock VIII be reduced more than 25 per cent, due to the fact that prices had heretofore been lowered. Ginghams that sold at 30 cents three months ago VIII be on sale at 30 cents. Domes- slc has been cut from 35 to 19 cents Shoes that sold at $12.50 will be on sale at $7.50 and $5 shoes have been eut cut to $S.75. Ladies suits once sold at $oo go at $45, while mer's suits have been cut from $50 to $87.50. In view of the attack upon the H. c. of l.. on farm products the Duke- Magruder company feels these reduced prices help equalize conditions.
 The sale will last only 20 days. The pig firm expects good crowds during she sale and will have an ample sales force ready.-Atv.
