E. M I N T E R A Word to Our Customers and Friends Did you ever have the experience of thinking that you had things coming your way, arid then find that you were laboring under a false impression. Sure you have, perhaps many times. Well we business men experience the same thing very often. When we advertised our Piercing Arrow sale we told you why we did it. To reduce stock just as much as possible, and we gave the reasons for it at that time. The sale opened up fine, we sold more goods than we ever dreamed we would seil, and every thing was running just as we had planned?we could see *.he 3tock getting down to where we wanted it. We were not to en joy this feeling of mtiafaction very long ? WHY? We'll tell you the whole story. When we decided to reduce the stock for re^s.; tu r 5 ? -V ?u? Mr. E. P. Minter in our Piercing Arrow announcement we had place: wr.ir*irr.;inda for over half of our Spring stock and naturally we thought that this er.de- ft Wd were mistaken, the manufacturers, and jobbers, did no: a/jeept the co -.'^r.--.^:^. im: insisted on us living up to our orders, the goods were shipped and we wsr* -ov/.ev-: -.sat we had to receive them. For the past ten days these goods hare beec Gomsmg m and we have them un packed and in place. Now we have to beg:r. red *z:s:x. z%a&? as the stock is en tirely too large. We will not wait until the zeason ? orer, we are going to begin right at the beginning of the season and make concessions or. the new goods to reduce them in a hurry and get the cash. OUR SPRING CARNIVAL For 30 days will mean much to the people of Lauren* and vicinity. There has never been a ease of this kind in this city were a stoek of new goods were ottered to the people at less than regular prices during the heighth of the season, we do not think that it will ever happen again. But this is once that it does happen and during this Spring Carnival we want to get the stock down to where we had it when the Piercing Arrow side closed. "We do not want to convey the idea to yon that we shall make as great price concessions now as we did during that sale? but we do assure you that we will make some prices on Brand New Merchandise that will surprise you. Regular patrons of this store will quickly take advantage of this oner, to you who do not trade at this store, we say to you ?come how and spend a few minutes in looking over things, get our prices? examine our goods, then compare with what yonr regular merchant wants for the same thing?that's all We ask we'll leave it to your judgement as to where you will buy. Remember this is only for 30 days?as we expect to have the stoek reduced to where we want it by that time. Just cast your eyes around the margin of this page?read those prices?and remember that this is prices on new goods.
