Xo more appropriate Christmas present than one or more of those elegant cloths, with

not take a fortune to buy them, as our ambition to sell has caused us to throw profits
overboard.
Flannels, Blankets, Underwear.
Wonderful how those keen cash buyers find out where their dollars will get the
most. Something similar to a run on a bank last week, only those who bought of us
got one hundred and fifty cents worth of goods for every dollar invested. You can do
the same this week. The stock is sufficiently large, no trouble to be suited.
Make the Men Happy.
It takes a great deal to make some of them that way. We might hint that if you
buy goods this week as lively as you ought, it will make us feel much better, but as we
have not started out to talk about ourselves, we desire to call your attention to the
many useful presents for men in our establishments, such as Collars and Cuffs, Shirts,
Neckwear, Gloves, Socks, Suspenders, Handkerchiefs, etc.
Skirts and Shawls must be sold, net cost, this week, to move them lively.
Twenty-five Buggy Robes, extra fine quality, 3-4 price this week. Calicoes, Sheet
ings, Checks, etc., at factory prices. We are determined to make Christmas week a
banner week of bargains. Don’t fail to call on us, and if we cannot make you a
Xmas present we cau at least save you money enough to enable you to buy one for
some one else.
