The public of Newnan and vicinity will benefit greatly by “The World’s

“The Famous” (one of Atlanta’s leading dry goods stores) entire $50,000 stock,
and the Eiseman & Weil stock, (bought by I. N. Orr Co. some time ago.) These
stocks will be puton sale at a sacrifice such as the public of Newnan and sur
rounding territory have never seen before, or will ever see again.
I. N. Orr Co. say the entire stock will be sold at 33 cents on the dollar.
At these prices the whole stock should be sold out inside of seven days’ time. It
is a sale which the public have a chance to attend about once in a lifetime. And
the people of Newnan and vicinity will no doubt take advantage of this grand
opportunity to secure for themselves wearing apparel at about 33 cents on the
dollar.
I. N. Orr Co. inform us they have engaged fifty extra salespeople, in order
to serve the vast crowds who will attend this gigantic and most terrific sacrifice
sale. We bespeak for this sale a tremendous business, as “The Famous”
and the Eiseman & Weil stocks are both practically new and clean. Thousands
of people will be attracted to Newnan to attend this sale, as the public well know
when they are getting bargains, and are always ready to save themselves two-
thirds on their purchases whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Merchants wishing to purchase portions of this stock will please call be
tween the hours of 8 and 9 A. M., as all other hours will be devoted to the im
mense crowds of people who will wish to buy this stock out at retail.
I. N. Orr Co.’s store in Newnan is now closed in order to get the entire
stock invoiced, and every article marked down to the lowest possible limit, in
order to sell out the stock rapidly. The store will not be open for business until
the opening day of this “World’s Greatest Purchase Sale,” which starts Satur
day, March 13, at 9:30 A. M. Let all who possibly can take advantage of this
tremendous sale, and secure their share of the many grand bargains that will be
offered. At the prices we understand this stock will be sold at, the entire stocks
should melt away like snow before a midday sun.
The opening clay of this big sale, Saturday, March 13, at 9:30 A, M., will be a collossal event. The
public will snap up the bargains quickly. In justice to yourself you cannot afford to miss this great sale.
Drop everything; make your arrangements to be there. Remember the opening day, Saturday
morning, March 13, at 9:30 o’clock. If you value money-saving, prepare accordingly.
“The Famous” dry goods stock and the Eiseman & Weii men’s furnishings and clothing stock are
now in the hands of I. N. Orr Co., and will positively be closed out in seven days at 33 cents on the dollar.
