About this time last year we had an advance sale of Winter Overcoats, and sold hundreds and every purchaser learned before winter came that he had never made a better investment. The great success of that Salo prompted us to take advantage of an opportunity to buy, last March, a lot of fine ALL-WOOL OVERCOATS from the "ALCO" shops. The manufacturers were vcry.late in finishing their last winter's production, and these Overcoats were left on their hands. We were glad to get them to hold for this earlv Sale for trje REGULAR WHOLESALE PRICE for the same kind of Overcoats for next winter is MORE THAN THIS SPECIAL RETAIL PRICE $32.50.
