This is our initial effort and quite naturally we want to make it the greatest ready-to-wear'event that Columbia lias yet known. Our entire stocks are greatly reduced. The beautiful dresses you have admired are low in price; luxurious coats are greatly reduced ; the handsome suits of finest materials are reduced one-third, one-half and in many cases more than one-half. Hosiery, silk underwear, blouses and in fact every article in the store is presented We do not wish the entire credit for this sale. The manu facturers we buy from have .given us their entire co-opera tion and many of the items so low in price would have been impossible, but for their assistance. Much of this apparel w; s purchased with the understanding that it be sold most reasonably.
