Jones, the senior member of the firm of Hofmayer, Jones fe? Co., will have entire management and control of the retail store and wholesale millinery business, which will he conducted on even greater and more metropolitan lines. Mr. Jones s natural inclinations and long experience peculiarly fit him for the retail depart ment store, of which he is now in full charge. The dissolution of the firm of Hofmayer, Jones & Co. was due to the large growth of both the retail and £??.. wholesale departments, which made it difficult for both businesses to he conducted advantageously under the same ownership and management. ' $' j(, , The new firm finds it necessary, m order to reduce the present enormous stocks—the greatest the store has ever had—and to raise at once the large amount of cash required for the purchase of the Hof mayer interests, to have A GREAT DISSOLUTION SALE BEGINNING- Monday, May 21, at 10 A.

The reductions will he made on almost every article in the store, the only exceptions being m cases of a few standard lines, the prices of which We are forbidden by contract with manufacturers to reduce—such as Manhattan Shirts, Coat's Cotton, E. Collars and American Lady Corsets. ie Price Cuts Will Range from 15 Per Cent, on Stapl t on Millinery. A Perfectly Fair Average of the Reductions Throughout the Store Would be from 33^ to 40 Per Cent. In points of the size of the stock, the elegant quality of the goods and the real reductions in already reason able prices, this will he the greatest special sale in the annals of South Georgia. There has never been a special sale of so much real quality merchandise in this part of Georgia, and there is likely never to be another in which so much quality and so little price will be combined so advantageously for the buyer. It simply amounts to this* this great stock, bought through facilities such as no other South Georgia store enjoys, will be sold at cost, or less time.
