GfISHS RAISER.
Watters X Son are Slaugh

TURNING STOCK TO CASH
The Sacrifice Sale Will Last
Only a Few More Days.
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 enormousgstock,
but cash was needed worst am
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’ Raisinj.
Sale” and to show that th ex
meant business they specific >
goods and quoted prices.
The result has been exact!\
what the firm anticipated. Their
store has been crowded from
morning to night for six days.
The crowds have flecked in,
have examined goods and eager
ly purchased, for the people
know bargains when they see
them.
“Our sale for the past week
has been all we anticipated,”
svid Mr. J. B. Watters
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-0 omme’• ci a 1 has
brought us rich returns, and you
can leave it stand, unchanged,
for another week. It states what
we are doin? and that is all that
wo 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
wh it you see.
Now is the time to join the
push.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Thatikful words written by Mrs.
Ada E Hart, of Groton, S. D.,
“Was mken with a bad cold which
settled on my lungs, cough set in

in, saying I could live but a short

My 1 usband was advised to get
