VTETZE. Tapp's Sale. i The James L. Tapp Company*s big | i department store continues to be j the scene of much activity. The! great Lock hart sale has been continued in order that all those who failed to take advantage of the bargains offered when the sale first began may do so now. And the best of ail about the continuation of this stupendous sale is the fact that! the longer the sale runs the greater the bargains. You can buy goods ' at Tapp's at your own price now? | almost for nothing. And another j beauty about this sale is, you can ; always secure the newest and best j at Tapp's. The by-word: "If it's stylish, Tapp has it,'' has won fori this establishment a distinction that | cannot be equalled the county over, j Be sure and go to Tapp's before j buying elsewhere.
