Special Notices. 



SPECIAL SECTIONS AT SPECIAL PRICE. 



Having flnall.v perfected and got in operation our 

 new section machinery by which all our sections 

 are now made by a new process, uniform in thick- 

 ness, and of superior quality and tinish, vve desire to 

 close out our entire stock on h;md made in the old 

 way; and in order to do so we offer them at the fol- 

 lowing special prices, which will apply .so long- as 

 this stock lasts. You may also deduct liie early- 

 order discounts from these prices as on other goods 

 ordered from our catalogue, as noted on page 4 

 thereof: 4J4:x4.^.\llg and Hi No. 1 cream sections, at 

 $3.00 per lObU; 5.iU0 for *9.0U; 10,000 for $17.00. 



i'dxiHx either l{i, l?^,^ to ft., 1!J. l:'u, and IH inch. 

 No. 1 white sections, at $3.50 per lOOd; 3000 lor $4.50; 



-WOO for $6.50; 5000 for $10.00. In lots of 10,000 or 

 more, write for special prices. Notice that we have 

 none of the regular width I'sorof ll'^ No. 1 white 

 sections in this stock, though we have the No. 1 

 cream, which are equally good, except in color. 

 We have, all told, only ,300,000 to 400,00n; and the 

 quality of these goods is su]>erior to many offered at 

 catching prices, and are a bargain to those who can 

 use tliese widths. The ligls so near the regular 

 width that very man.v could use them without 

 inconvenience, especially if tiiey use a wood ^epara- 

 tor where they did not use any separator with regu- 

 lar sections.
