SCALPED
That’s the word, cut right down, almost to cost price. You can
shake your head in doubt. Don’t understand how we do it, do you? But
we’ve done it,
AND HUNG
A new price ticket on many lots of desirable goods, just such things as
you need for the next two months of winter. We have simply trimmed
prices down to a plane commensurate with the after-Christmas pocket-
book. We have determined not to sit
ON THE FENCE
And wait for a January rush without reducing prices to such a
point as will create a stir. When the business stream seems about
Up we'^lways raise the flood gates of special reduction sales and
create an avalanche of business just at such times when competitors growl
over hard times. :,Come in on a “look around tour” any day.
Here Are A Few Prices:
Boys’ Rubber Boots, were $2.25, now $1.50.
Men’s Rubber Boots, were $3.50, now $2,30.
Misses’ Rubber Shoes, were. 25 cents, now they go at 15 cents.
Ladies’ Rubber Sandals, were 35 cents, now at 18 cents.
Ladies’ House Slippers, were 40 cents, now 25 cents.
A better grade, were 50 cents, now they go at 35 cents.
A very fine slipper, former price 75 cents, now going at 50 cents.
Men’s Heavy Sweaters, were 75 cents, now they go at 40 cents.
Boys’ Sweaters, were 50 cents, now at 25 cents.
Men’s extra size pants, from 38 to 44. We have too many of them,
and will make prices that will pay you to buy whether you need them now
or not,
Boys’ Caps—One lot worth 25 to 50 cents, to close out at 15 cents.
Dress Goods.
Short lengths in woolen dress goods to close out at about one-half
the regular price.
In our silk department you will find trimming silks from 10 cents
to 50 cents per yard. Same goods you have paid 35 cents to one dollar
for at other places earlier in the season.
