From this date, January 2, I<H>5, Until further notice, our entire stock of Suits, Overcoats, Trousers, Underwear and Lap Robes will be sold AT COST STRICTLY FOR CASH ! The reason for sacrificing all profit during this sale is a logical and sensible one. To carry stock over means not only to hamper the new goods, but it also means much dormant capital, insurance charges and loss from change of fashion. Hence our willingness to sacrifice all profit to effect a speedy and absolute clearance. D. J. Chandler Clothing Co., Phone 166 & Sumter, S. C.
