Do you want to rise in the world? Remember that econ? omy is the parent of pros? perity, and become a prac? tical economist by TRADING WITH US. Thc heavy profits which some merchants make, like the in? terest on borrowed money, eat up the earnings and prevent, saving. We make no such profits, and those who trade with us j will find their savings increase with every trade. An honest ! profit and an honest price is our idea of price and profit | making. Big prices and big profits ai e not honest. We have nothing to do with them. We will save you also in the goods ! we supply. Good grade goods go farther than low grade. Even at a higher price they are cheapest in the long run. But j we put good grade articles on the same price-level as the low grade. That makes them cheapest in actual cash as well as cheapest in actual value. It takes us to make bargains ? We are old hands at it. We know how to buy and that's how we ? have the secret of selling. We are past masters in the ancient : and honorable art of bargain -makins; and will convince von . - o , I that wre know our work if you give us a call. ! Recollect that we show what we ad vertise, that we have the goods, make j the prices and mean ali we advertise, j No one talked to death. No misrepre-j sentation of goods. No matter what i prices others may make we will beat them, and you are not restricted to buy-j ing a couple of yards. Do not be misled j by dealers who shout big things and claim to show what they cannot produce. ! _ j We give you real and not imaginary value j for your hard earned dollars, for next week \ we have made Special Prices in every depart? ment. The wonderful increase in our trade this j season amply justifies us in inaugurating! from time to time these special low price sales ! that have become so universally appreciated. ! Whilst these sales are in progress we give no ! consideration of profit but allow every one an ! equal chance to secure the bargains we offer, j As thousands are to hundreds so is the com- j parison you can make between our stock and ! that o? others in the city. We give you qual- j ity, we give you style, and we give you the j lowest prices. Take the hint and come to j J. 8YTTENBE8C k SOI. Xuv 13 OUI I fe are Chock Fid! -OF -IX AH Departments.
