— ' " ' ' ■ A Sale that has been a part of every household for years and years wherever the name "Bowman's" is known. > —Starts to-morrow and will continue until Saturday evening. The coming four days promises to be a memorable period for economic Harrisburg and for the thousands in outlying districts who will wisely visit this city; in view of this great bargain festival, and the extraordinary conditions which prevail elsewhere. In itself, this familiar B. B. B. Sale will be more important than ever. The first to be held since the completion of rebuilding—and in a celebrative manner, our best efforts are being put forth to make it the greatest of all these half-yearly events, both in merchandise and value. ' itmll' Our own good stocks, certain of which have been given exceptionally low prices ; and in addition, are the many new lots of mer- § chandise-honey which our busy bees have extracted from the manufacturing field, all at low-tide prices. j-J Much has been left unsaid, most noticeably the former prices. Where the reader is left no cause to doubt, no artificial reckoning of values is created, and invariably " • the merchandise itself will exceed your expectations.
