MIDWINTER
Clearance Sale
John S. Wilson's Store,
Three Springs.
While there Is practically three months of winter weather
to be expected yet, the wide-awake merchant begins early to clear
his stock to make room for Spring purchases.
The old way of merchandising was to carry over from one
season to another all unsold goods, and never parting with an ar
ticle unless the full retail prices was received. That day is gone
by. Goods bought for the winter trade must go In the winter, and
it is much better in the end that the itock should be closed out at
profit or no profit, than to be at the trouble of storing it away
and beginning next winter's business with old out-of-date stuff.
During the Month of February
we shall sell at way-down prices,
Men's, Women's and
Children's Clothing
Blankets, Arctics, Rubbers, Carpets, and
with these goods will go at Special Prices.
Dry Goods, Groceries, Hardware and
Housefurnishing Goods. v
We want it distinctly understood that when it
comes to quality of goods we will not be under
sold by anybody. y
