Mid-Summer Clearance of
Seasonable Merchandise
Experience teaches us the necessity of cleaning up all residue
stocks at the end of each season. To thoroughly and effectively
accomplish this in the most expeditious manner we have placed a
clearance price on every item of merchandise of a summerish char
acter, and cut the price so deep that we feel assured our expecta
tions will be quickly realized, To make this sale still more attract
ive we make a general reduction throughout the entire store, offer
ing an unusual opportunity to secure reliable goods much under
actual value.
