Happy in this store because it will bs a great bargain month, because prices will drop into insignificance. Because the visible impressions of cost will be largely removed, and qualities will be just as good as they ever were. Prices will be reduced on all regular winter goods, and yet 1 '11 1 it f i-i prp vt hpthi'pp nr v.w - v.i.v- w . customers to get value received lor tneir money. January begins making room for April. Winter backs out and bows out for Spring. It is the time when prep arations for a new season commences, and the first operation consists in marking down and closing out goods that you want --that we don't want. January is your month, not ours. One Item of Special Interest Is Dress Goods. A great bulk of our stock goods worth from 37 1-2C. to 75c. per yard, will be closed out At 25 Cents Per Yard. Other and better lots just as cheap. oorioSly ACJENTh WANTED. (!I XT-i-1 I IK ".VIOXAIll-ll Ii mi.
