Excellent Opportunities
Awaits You at the Big Store
in Griffin.
7 'HE TREMENDOUS VOLUME of our sales since
Oct. 15th shows conclusively that the hun
dreds of pe’ople who have attended this Bar
gain Carnival have in no way been disappointed.
A great ina.iy families have supplied their winter
needs and many homes have been furnished from
the Big Store since we commenced our Closing
Out "ale, yet seme of the choicest bargains re
main unsold. Comparative prices would give you
only a faint idea of the great reductions through
out our store, as they are so irregular. Some
most excellent values show a reduction of only
about 20 per cent, from the former prices, yet
others show that nearly 50 per cent, of the worth
price has been clipped off. Our entire stock is
marked in plain figures both the regular and the
closing out price. We have a definite end in view
and we will not allow anything to prevent the sell
ing of this magnificent stock. All thought of prof
it-making has been abandoned. We are selling
out, giving out and going out of the mercantile
business - that is all.
