A TERRIBLE SHOCK
That's Sure to Play Havoc
With the Mail Order
Houses

When the doors swung open at Water
mans Store, Morrsville, Vermont, Satur
day morning. Dec. the 18th, the creates
crowd that ever attended a sale in thi
county was waiting. But, 10 and behold
what shock they received 1t look et

people picking up bundles of merchandis,
and running to the wrapping counter will
NOR ey IN their hands to pay the price
marked on the sales ticket.
1t actually would give a real impression
that customers were inclined to believe
this store had made a big mistake If
! marking their merchandise at such terrific
bargains.
1t seemed there were mountains OF
merchandise in this store though the at
tractive manner in which goods we're dis
played, everything marked in plain figures,
and more drastic price cutting then you
ever imagined in this age-former prices
actually crippled beyond repair.
1t is no wonder the Waterman Store
advertised last week that all rates would
prove mere shadow compared with this
big S lie. Very fine Mems Suits which
have been selling at $500, $37 so to
$3.50 were marked down to $1S so.
Good warm Overcoats go at $3,9S,
strictly all wool coats at that, no fake but
a bona-fde offer. Mems and Boys Hats
and Caps have all had their prices cut
below cost, Dress Shirts and Flannel
Shirts all reduced Shoes go at Smashed
prices, while big stock of the best kinds
and grades of Underwear, Union Suits,
Shirts and Drawers, heavy cotton or wool,
go at prices far below normal Ties, Scarfsl
Gloves, Mittens, Hd'kfs. Sweaters and
Sox, in fact every article in this big stock
has had tremendous reduction put on
its former selling price.
1t was impossible for every one TO get
waited on the first two or three days, the
store being crowded to overhowing. Now
we understand they have sold such vast
amount of goods that all their reserve
stocks, bran new goods have been placed on
the counters and displayed in different parts
of the store, so now this store has the
finest bargain to offer which are to be
bought quickly by the conservative eco
non,ieal people who save and watch for
of this sort.
This sale closes Saturday night. Dec. 24, |
