Special Monday in
Wash Goods.
Lots are mostly broken ones,
else they would not be so little
priced, even for this bargain day.
We mention four. If there
was room we'd tell you of torty.
Better fix up a bit today.
iic ths yard for all our broken
lines of dimities in the rich
est colorings. Some have black
grounds with white figures;
others are light grounds with
fancy figures; stiipes and dots.
Not a yard but what has previ
ously brought 15 cents.
19c the yard for the very finest
of real Scotch ginghams.that
you have been p.iyinc 25c and
35c tor right along. Thirty-four
inches wide, in striped effects
that reflect the brightest tints of

today three cents cheaper.
19c the yard for some very rare

silks; others in fancy plaids, with
the plain woven in silk. Most
every pretty and showy tint.
When you asked the price the
other day they were 39c.
Special Monday in
Black Dress Goods
Because we advertise the blacks
today, don't think we haven't
got the blues, also, as well as
other colors. This story of blacks
is very bright, for it refers to
some exceptionally special lots.
Ought to add perhaps that we
are showing a splendid assort
ment of summer wash silks.
Yes, the prices are interesting.
35c Ihe yard for 40-inch black
brilliantine, heavy weight,
rich luster, and the kind you
usually pay 50c for.

July back to !"iVi;e, dumping large lots on to
