IMPORTANT.
The importance of paying promptly for
The News should be remembered by sub
scribers. All persons failing to settle when
due are discontinued, thereby causing a
great deal of inconvenience and in some
cases embarrassment and dissatisfaction.
A subscriber who finds his paper discon
tinued on account of his failure to pay.
should bear in mind that, it is not a mat
ter of ill will, but simply a matter of bus
iness, and that it would be much more
satisfactory to the circulation managers to
send the paper on without interruption.
But as it takes money to print and deliver
newspapers we must impress upon the
mind of each subscriber the importance of
paying when due. All papers discontinued
for non-payment will be started immedi
ately upon payment of arrears. Our col
lectors call regularly for the money, and
no bill will be presented before it is due.
The carriers will call on those who pay by
the week every Saturday morning, and no
one should expect him to call back when
they remember that he has others to see.
MONEY MADE QUICK AT HOME.
M e has e work for grown people or young
people at home. Bright boys and girls are
easily making Ten Dollars and more, each
week, and you can do the same. You will
be sent a sample case and complete outfit
with full instructions. No experience is
required, but merely follow instructions
Bent with outfit . We are thoroughly in
earnest about giving you easy, profitable
work and a permanent income for years
to come. The editor of this paper will tell

OUR POLICY FOR FEBRUARY SALES
I
I
We begin this month with Unparalled Bar=
gains in Dry Goods and Clothing. The wise
throngs that usually crowd our store will not
be disappointed during its progress. Big things
we have done in January, but have determined
that February shall outstrip it.
SFARE ISTO PRICE.
If any phrase in the store talk of the day has
frayed edges from overuse it is “Prices are Re
duced,” “Room is Needed.” But there are re
ductions, just the same. And we do want the
room. You know that, if you know the store.
Today we point out money-saving spots. The
things now possessed must yield, for the New
Goods are importunate and press for unrivalled
Space. What follows is not at all adorned.
Plain figures are fascinating and eloquent
enough to develop you deepest and most latent
buying thought. If you are on the look for a
Dress of any kind, rich colorings, staunch
weaves, COME NOW. Fifty cents will do a
dollar of buying in many of them. Everything
in the Dress Goods line is doomed to go at frac
tional priecs in order to clear the shelves for
spring styles.
