reputation e selling al very moderate
prices. and for this occasion they have
reduced prices 10 the minimum. There

goods. We are confident that once they
learn what Brownsville stores have TO
offer in both stocks and prices they will
readily see the profit Of trading here in
stead of sending money out of the
Valley"

traction. but in my opinion the biggest
attraction should be the complete stocks
and the low prices the various Browns
Vile stores are offering.

firms Of Brownsville are now giving

purchase, and all coupons. issued during
the summer series. from june !. will be
