them to be Nice, Clean Goods, and worth double what we are selling them at.
Investigate this and see if you cannot save on your purchase 50c on the Dollar.
You owe yourself that much and there is no excuse for you to spend your money before looking through this line. It won't cost you a cent to find out what we
have and the price of it. Everything strictly cash---not even a ticket shall be made.
And remember, while we are running this sale, will have for you many bargains at
the Kentucky Store.
