Too Many Goods.
i
In some of our departments, we are overstocked, and rather
than carry a surplus into next season, when the indications are
we can replace them for less money, we have determined to put a
Cleaning Out Price
on them.
In Clothing we have about
25 Crash Suits
Worth $3 to $3.50; we offer them at $1.95
This is actually less than the goods are worth to buy, and at
above price should not last long.
100 pairs Boy's Washable Pants
sizes 4 to 15?35c to 50c values
at 25o per pair.
25 DUCK VESTS?Plain and fancy, single and dou?
ble-breasted goods worth $1.50 to $2?as long as they last
? they go at 95C.
We have still some good values left in
Flannel Coats and Coats and Vests?
if you find your size we will guarantee to save you money.
Men's Low Cut Shoes.
Reynolds make $3 grade, as long as they last $2.40.
Bay State make $2 grade, $1.60.
