“Of course,” she remarked, “I had no

Sibella, with a smile puckering her
face at the reminiscence, “and Disby

The Boo Ore Fleet.
*The most impressive commercial
panorama that the earth can show,” is
the ore laden fleet of steamers that
passes through the great Sault Ste,
Marie canal, 50,000,000 of tons of iron
passing in review, 30,000,000 being iron
ore to be worked up Uy countless hands
to do service to mankind. One of
these great steamers has loaded 10.245
gross tons of iron ore at Allouez bay
in $9 minutes. Nine thousand tons of
this load were put on in 34 minutes,
while the steamer was at dock otnly
180 minutes, including shifting. The
Lake Superior country bas been termed
the world's richest mineral territory
As said the Hon. Peter White, whose
history runs parallel with America’s
iron age, “the iron trade of the United
States is a mighty solemn fact”

A legitimate sale at reduced prices of fall and winter
Clothing at this season of the year is a hitherto unheard of
proposition, but Murphy & Blish, the Clothiers and Haber-
dashers of Sayre, have decided to make an innovation and
therefore Monday Nov. 13, will launch what witl prove to be
without question the grandest and most gigantic sale of Men,
Boys and Childrens Clothing that has ever taken place in
Northern Pennsylvania or Southern New York. Every
garment in their select stock of Clothing will be marked from
40 to 50 per cent. Below Regular Selling pricos
and in some instances the knife will be plunged even deeper.
You ask why ? Read this announcement and you will learn
the reason. Never before have the conditions so favored
a November sale of fall and winter clothing, and right in the
beginning, while you are interested in knowing the whys and
wherefores we are going to give you a reason that is not only
logical but which bzars the indelible stamp of truth. In fact
you will wonder why you have not thought of it yourself.
The weather conditions in October were mild, and the cloth-
ing business was seriously retarded. In other lines normal
conditions prevailed, but people just wouldn't buy clothing.
They thought they didn't need it. Result: Manufacturers
are loaded to the gunwales. So are the retailers. We bought
heavily for ths fall trade, and th: stock must b: moved.
Hence w: have inaugurated this sale w.th a cut in prices that
will eventually result in the major portion of our vast stock
Bading its way into th: hands of the public while wz will
turn the money into new spring goods. Every garment in’
th: store will bz included in this sale, nothing r:served.
Th= line of clothing which w y be offered at this magaifi-
cent sale is manufactured bs W. S. Peck & G 0. of Syracuse,
N.Y. Theyemploy union ors and every garment bears
the union ltb2l ~Tt is th? sam? line that we have bean offer-
ing o1r ¢istomers during the four years wo» have been in
business in Sayre. It is the identical line that we bought to
sipplv oar fall and winter trade, and is >t a jHb lot of
“shoddy,” badly cut and mada, secared for the express pur-
pase of swindling a gullible public.

of business. We intend to gemain at the old stand and be
prepared to back up our guarantee which accompanies each
garment that you purchase,
Although mild weather conditions prevailed in October a

an opportunity to secure them at prices so ridiculously low
that there is no necessity for your going without.
Bring along your little boys. We have the finest line of
boy's clothing ever shown in this or any other valley, but as
we need the room for our other lines we intend to close out
the boy's clothing and in order to do so will smash the prices.

this sale is not planned for the purpose of fleecing you out of
your hard-earned money, but is a busingss necessity on our
part, arising from natural conditions over which we have no
