KRE LEADING THE PUSH
Money Raising Sale Will Run
This Week-
Watters & Son, the big Broad
street clothiers, know exactly
how to carry out any undertak
ing or enterprise in which they
engage.
This wide awake hustling firm
of up-to-date business men found,
some ten days ago that, owing
to a mild winter, business had
not been as good as it should
have been—and in consequence
they would soon be in need of
'unds.
They had an enormous stock,
but cash was needed worst and
so the firm very promptly decid
ed to lay the knife into prices
and throw their stock on the
market.
Last Sunday morning they
announced a “Money Raising
Sale” and to show that they
meant business they specified
goods and quoted prices.
The result has been exactly
what the firm anticipated. Their
store has been crowded from
morning to night for six days.
The crowds have flocked in,
have examined goods and eager
ly purchased, for the people
know bargains when they set
them.
“Our sale for the past week
has been all we anticipated,’
said Mr. J. B. Watters yester
day. “We are rapidly exchang
ing bargains for cash and whih
we are raising the funds w<
needed iu our business, we are f
at the same time clothing
multitudes.”
“Our advertisement in The!
Hustler-C omme” ci a 1 has
brought us rich returns, and you ■
can leave it stand, unchanged,
for another week. It states what
we are doing and that is all that
we want it to state.”
“We will continue the sale for
a few days longer and then will
promptly shut off the slaugh
ter.”
A word to the wise is sufficient
—so look over the Watters &
Co., add and govern yourself by
what you see.
Now is the time to join the
push.
Now is the time to
buy your ooy a suit at
ha'f price J B Watters
