Sweeping Reductions

Talk is useless at this late hour. The oue point in
view is to get rid of every item of Holiday Special
ties now in stock, and to make sure of accomplishing
this, we've forced prices away down below the cost
mark in many cases.
The Blackboards at 39c
The finely-made Desks at $2.49
The Drop-Leaf Toy Tables at 41c
The High Chairs, with Tray, at 49c

Etc., Etc., Etc.
The List Might
Be Prolonged '
Indefinitely, but what good would it do ? Every
thing holidayish has been turned over by the money
of the bargain hunters, and by Saturday night we
hope to see our fixtures completely cleared of every
thing that was specially bought for Christmas. A

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What Is the use ot making i better
article than your competitor if you
can not get a better price for if
Ans As there Is no difference In
tho price the public will buy only
the better, so that while our profits
may be smaller on a single sale they
will be muih greater in tho aggre
gate. How can ou get the public to know
our make Is the best?
If both articlea are brought piomln
ently before tho public both ire cer
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass Judgment on thcni
and use onl the better one.

remedy that they know to bo re
liable, and for coughs, colds and croup
there Is nothing equal to Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. For s lie by
