The Sale of Peyser Collars At flVt CfVTS We venture to say that there Is hardly a man in Scranton today who does not know about this great sale of genuine Peyser Collars. Qf the grand total of thirty-six thousand Collars here on Saturday, there are perhaps nine thousand left. If you wear white linen collars at all, this Is the time to buy no matter what your needs may be. Lay them away until Sum mer, or s' mother time. It is certain ly an unusual occasion that gives you 4-ply linen collars, worth ten cents and twenty cents, all at 5 The collection here represents the entire over-output of the Eugene P. Peyser Collar Company a con cern that enjoys the distinction of making the best collar for the price in America. It is our bounden ob ligation to charge ten cents for them at all times, except during this pres ent sale. So when these are gone, you'll never buy any more at the price. Main Aisle, Wyoming Avenue.
