once more I am going to do it- am going to offer my quality mer- chandise at sacrifice prices in order to make. room for spring and sum mer goods and gather in a little ready cash It takes real money to buy new clothing and i prefer to dispose of certain amount of my stock and convert it into cash That has always been my policy-to keep turning my stock and buying new, up-t date clothing, even if I have to lose some money now and then by selling things dirt cheap
 This will probably be the last time this season you will have the opportunity of buying clothing at such reduced prices Our prices must be adjusted and brought back to normal. You know, it's this way folks-we merchants can stand loss now and then but we can't af- ford to continually sell at a loss We must allow a legitimate profit Prices have reached bedrock and l believe express the opinion of oth- CT merchants when I say that 1t is useless for the public to wait for lower prices on clothing. The bot
 tom has been reached and now it is time to price things on a sound basis AI sincerely hope that all my flAnds will take advantage of this
 opportunity to stock up on clothing
 as everything will soon be priced.
 With every suit sold l will throw
 in $6 hat free. Remember-the suits are all marked at half price. If you do not care to buy a suit
 then you may have a hat for half price.
 I am back on the job now and will give matters my personal at tention. You are assured of good
 service and we stand back of our
 merchandise.
 My advertisement on another kpage of this mornings paper gives | ESu all the dope regarding this fina reduction of mems clothing. ReaC | it-drop in my store-and be con
 vinced of the wonderful values anc | the low prices.
