The above keen shaft is aimed
at Capt. liobley D. Evans, of

‘‘Fighting Bob” ■ Evans. Capt.
I Evans is in command of a bat

of the Marblehead, Massachu

‘‘l have always had a strong

we have been unable to get any

were too strong.” 4

TURNING STOCK TD CflS]i
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 bustling firm
.)f up-to-date business men found,
some ten days ago that, owing
to a mild winter, business had
1 ;
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 cn the
market.
Last Sunday morning they
announced a ’“Money Raising
Sale” and to show th-ft 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 tonight for six days.
ifhe crowds have flocked 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,”
a aid-Mr. IL Watters yestir
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
II ustler-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 doin ' and that is all that
we want it to state.”
“We will continue the sale for
I a few days longer and then will
I promptly shut off the slaugh
, ter.”
A word to the wise is sufficient
—so look over die Watters &
j Co., add and govern yourself by
what you see.
Now is the time to join the
push.
