ARE 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 —aud in consequence
they would soon be in need of
hinds.
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 i
what the firm anticipated. Their
store has been crowded from ]
morning to night forsix.days.
The crowds have flocked in,
have examined goods and eager- 1
ly purchased, for the people i
know bargains when they see '
them.
“Our sale for the past week I
has been all we anticipated,” '
said Mr. J. B. Watters yester- i
day. “We are rapidly exchang
ing bargains for cash and while
we are raising the funds we
needed in our business, we are
at the same time clothing the
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.
Rheumatism
It a blood disease and only a blood reme
dy can cure it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: “For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
tism, which the best physicians were un
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem to
ranch my trouble. I gradually grew
worse until I was un
able to take my food
|W or handle myself in
any way; I was abao
lutely helpless. Three
bottles of S.S.S. re
lieved me so that I
WSr' soon able to move
X. m y right arm; before
long I could walk
across the room, and
when I had finished one dozen bottles

ever. I now weigh 170.”
A Real Blood Remedy*
S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema,
and any form of blood troubles. If you
have a blood disease, take a blood medi
cine—S.S.S. (faaratt/rref purely vegeta

is recommended for nothing else. It

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYIUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and akill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup 1
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken- 1
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company— (

CONTINUED JAM. '
-
Twenty-five Clerks Kept on
the Rilsh.
EVERY DAY BARGAIN DAY.
Goods Going, as Advertised,
“Regardless of Cost.”
•Every day is a “bargain day”
at the big Bass Bros & Co’s,
closing out sale.
And every day witnesses jams
that have never ’•before been
equalled in the mercantile histo
ry of Rome.
Even the showers do not stay
the tide of the birgain thirsting
humanity, and but seldom im
perceptibly impedes its onward
rush.
Twenty-five clerks, all expe
rienced aalesinen and sales la
dies, are scarcely able to handle
the trade that has been drawn
to Bass’ closing out sale, for
several hours each day for the
past three weeks.
Hence we say every day is a
bargain day. The Hustler-Com
mercial did not go through the
stock today. It was work enough
to go through the store, . and
what we saw along the middle
tier of tables and counters was
enough to satisfy us or any one (
else that the stock is being
slaughtered.
Alter seeing gents necties that
cost all the way from 19 to 70
cults going into a common re
ceptacle and going at 10 cents
each, it was easy to account for
the swarm that hovered around
the edges of this sweet.
Then when we saw a table of
sox, including half hose, that
ranged in cost from 15 to 44cts,
the pair and saw’ them going at
15 cents for choice ; why, it was
easy to understand why this
cord of.sox was a popular chord.
Then there was the gent’s
shirt table. On it was a rack of ;
100 shirts just takjn from stock
and every shirt costing from 55
to sl.lO each, and you takeyour
choice for 39 cents. Think of
that, a laundried or an unlaun
dried, a white or colored, a hard
bosom or negligee, anything
and everything going at 39cts.
I noticed four large counteis
packed and stacked witli ging
hams, muslins and dimities,
none of them costing thj house
less than 64 cents, while some
cost as high as 33 cents, and
these goods were selling for 6
cents per yard.
Here Mr. Powers, the heau
salesman, was called awav for
t ie half a dozenth time, and af
ter waiting a half hour and see
ing there was no chance for him
to escape from a cordon of cus
t imers that waited on him col
lectively while he waited on
them consecutively, I departed
those coasts.
Bass Bros, & Co., are doing
all they advertiser—and, if any
difference —more too ! ’
