The ' time for selling is getting short -the bulk of summer trade must be done before the Fourth of July just a week to clear it all out; so we have decided to hurry our pre parations and open this sale tomorrow, Saturday, June 26. We can honestly say, and we want it. believed, .that the bargains we will offer at this sale are bigger, truer, than it has ever been our pleasure to offer to the Scranton public in our long and. . successful period of store keeping. At the time of writing the whole staff of salespeople are busy sorting; the stock, separating it into grades and prices, ready for marking, but as yet we cannot give a detailed account of what they Will be, but you can be assured that we intend to make a record this time, and one that will not easily be beaten.
