CLEARANCE SALE is OW I FULL SWING S FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, ?t WE have sold lots of Fall and Winter Goods in our After-Inventory Sale and we are^perfectly satisfied with the success of our SALE. But we are far from clearing our shelves yet, so as to have sufficient room for our Spring Goods. There are plenty of Winter Goods on our shelves yet that we must have sold out before the Spring season comes. *g *g We have discovered that our atocK being so tremendous, a 15-days* sale wasn't sufficient time to accomplish a satisfactory clearance of our Fall and Winter StocK? and such being the case we are issuing this circular announcing a CLEARANCE SALETAS for the entire month of February, offering you real bargains in many lines, disregarding profits and present cost. Any mer- TS chant will tell you how unpleasant it is to sell goods without the pre?t he is entitled to. But with us it isn't a matter of choice; it is a matter of necessity. We must reduce our tremendous stocK and we are compelled to sacrifice our profits to accomplish it. This is a case of: WE LOSE AND YOU WIN.
