I have been hoping to receive a satisfac tory offer for my stock and the rent of the store, but have thus far failed to do so. The merchants have com plained so much of my selling goods so low all the time, and my seri ous interference with their business, when I had areduction or clos ing out sales that 1 was in hopes they would combine and buy me out, or see that I got a purchaser. As I am anxious to retire at peace with all the trade, but as I am still without a purchaser I have de cided to turn over the stock to Mr. R. J. Lincl say, my manager, to sell out at retail, or by departments, or in bulk, and from this date, until closed, the goods will be sold at retail at our low cash prices, less twenty (20) per ct. discount. This will be about an aver age of first cost, (as this will be 25 per ct. less than they are marked, as 20 per ct. off is equal to 25 per ct. added). Merchants will be sold in lots at and below In voice cost, and there is no denartment that could be duplicated for what they cost. This is an opportunity for our friends to buy real new desirable goods at a sacrifice of all profit, and I would like to have everybody to get some of the bargains.
