It is the outcome of a campaign of active and successful buying. Only through such early preparation has this store been able to inaugurate this great trade movement of ours. We propose by one gr??t overwhelming effort to demonstrate the superiority of this store and prove our right and title to the name of SUMTER'S BARGAIN CENTRE. ; For one whole w^ek, commencing on Monday morning, October 25th, and lasting until Saturday night, October 30th, we will convert our immense store into a regular Fair. A fair opportunity for everyone to buy all they want at a fair bargain.
