Falk Clothing Company,
Savannah,Ga,
Have sold entire stock to Robinson, Cherry
and Company. Washington, at sixty cents: reserved
right of your selecting What portion you
want before shipping? Shall we make selection,
and how much, or will you come
on? Answer. Schloss Bros. & Company.
As everybody knows, the famous firm of Schloss Bros. & Cos.
manufacture nothing but first quality of Men’s and Boys’ Clothing,
and it goes without saying that our late purchase comprises a se
lection particularly adapted to the trade of Savannah-At the same
time the prices at which we shall sell the goods is not more than is
usually paid for coarse, shoddy garments. The invasion *of this
stock makes it necessary that our regular line of clothing should be
marked down, in sympathy, and without enumerating the vast quan
tity of all kinds of clothing we simply ask the public to take a
look. We know that the goods will sell themselves.
