Two Numbers of Long Cloth
Oil City's newest and best
stocked clothing store.
The store they are all speak
ing favorably about.
Underprice.
12c quality at $1.10 for piece of 12 yards.
15c oualitv at 1.45 for piece of 12 yards.
Both of these numbers were contracted for when the cotton
market was considerable lower than it is now; making both of
these offerings of exceptional importance.
A Successful Vacuum Cleaner
for $20.00.
After trying a half dozen or more low priced so-called
vacuum cleaners we have at last found one that is practical and
in every way satisfrctory.
The Crown Vacuum Cleaner costs but $20.00, but it does
all the work of any of the high priced machines. It is easily
operated, requires no electric or other motive power (except
hand) and is built eo that it has no intricate parts to wear out.
We have thoroughly investigated the Crown and do not
hesitate to recommend it. Let us have your order for one. The
factory is at present sold ahead on them, so that first come, first
served.
A Window Full of Silk Para,
sols. $1.39.
Can you figure out how we can sell a Silk Parasol, made
of all silk taffeta, long princess handle of white maple, cord and
tassel and steel paragon frame, all for $1.39?
Let us tell you, it takes pretty close figuring. The manu
facturer buys a big lot of materials way under price, then he
scales down the cost of making, selling, etc., and cuts his own
profit in halt. Then he puts them out in big lots and the stores
that have certain buying facilities get a chance at them, and we
by sacrificing our profits can place before our trade a remarka
ble line of Parasols at a remarkable price.
The colors are navy, royal, rose, reseda, emerald, pongee,
sky, etc.

Trifles-
are very important things in business.
Large corporations and business houses of all kinds
appreciate the enormous importance of trifles.
An ounce of weight taken off a finished product, a few minutes
time saved, a cent or two less cost of manufacture, these often
mean the difference between profit and loss.
And still unthinking people squander pennies, nickles, dimes
and dollars never realizing that they are throwing away the
