We have never had such a
coinplete sell-out of Summer goods, leaving ohr shelves almost bare for our Fall and Winter
stock, which is now in. The shelves are full and the counters groaning with their loads.
®very foot of space has been utilized, and';we now have ready for you the most magnificent line
youvyilf haveanopportunity to examine. And the prices-well, 99 times out of 100 we sell
cheaper than any other store, and the 100th time our prices may be met for mere effect only.

Did you know this town has been asleep on the hat
question? It has taken a long* nap, but now we
are doing some waking*—we are waking the town
with this hat sale. A sale tha|; is doubly inter
esting because it comes at a t^tne when you are
about to lay asida your straw. Last week we
opened up 83 dozen of the very newest, latest sty
les in Men’s Hats, the stylish broad brim, low
crown is here in all colors; the neat little white
and pearl slouches, and every new style in hard
. and soft headwear. We didn’t buy out an old
stock at 25 cents in the dollar, though our prices
: would seem that way, but every one is as new as ;t
1900 dollar. See them in our' window, and don't
