Ring Out the Old!
Ring in the New!
As the Old Year is rung out, and the new rung in, we will ring out our old stock and ring in a new and com-
plete stock of the newest things in Ladies' and Gents* Furnishings.
Our buyer will leave in a few days for the Eastern markets to come in touch with the latest novelties and
the best staples obtainable in this line.
Meanwhile we will continue to sell out our present stock at sacrifice prices that we may have room for the
new. We wish to thank all those who have patronized us in the past, and hope you may continue during the ap-
proaching year, and we also wish to solicit new business on the basis of merit alone.
Come in and look over our hargains--we have something to please everyone at prices which please all.
