Closing Out
We again come to you with a proposition for MUTUAL BENEFIT. It is a well known fact that farmers
can not raise Four Cent Cotton and prosper. You will have to get more for your cotton, or do something else. Neither can
we make money selling Dry Goods when cotton sells at Four Cents. W e will have to do something else. So we have de-
cided to close out our entire stock of Dry Goods. A great many things
WILL 60 AT LESS THAN COST I
We dislike to interfere with other merchants, hut self-interest comes first, and next comes the interest of our
customers. We gave you cheap goods last fall and our competitors raised a great howl, and tried to convince you that
we were not selling at cost, but those who traded with us last fall know they got their goods at cost, aud more, we refer you
to any one in Lampasas outside of the Dry Goods business as to whether we do what we agree to do or not. We sold
last year the first three days of our sale to the town people alone over $2400 worth of goods.
Read About Our Goods and Prices Below:
•Cotton checks, 60 yards for $1. Duck Cotton Sacking, 5 cents a yard. Bleached Domestic, 30 yards for $1.
Ten-quarter bleached Sheeting 12 1-2 cents a yard. Ten-quarter brown Sheeting, 10 cents a yard. Ladies Plush cape,
$1.50. Nice Cloth cape, 75 cents. Man’s Suit, $2.25. Boy’s Suit, 75 cents, Ladies’ good Shoes, 75c to $1.50. Men’s
Shoes now at $1. Bed Blanket, 35 cents. Saddle Blanket 50 cents.
We only give you a few prices to let you see the difference in our prices and those of other merchants. Our
competitors will try to convince you that they are selling as cheap as we are. Don’t be deceived, but come to the One
Price House and see for yourself. We have over $30,000 worth of goods on hand and must sell them.
To give all our friends a chance we will commence this sale on Monday, October 24th, and continue untill all the
goods are sold. Yours for MUTUAL BENEFIT.
