ereenery strewn — promise ously

A Word about this Big Reduction 
The why and wherefore of our reduction prices won’t interest you because 
the superior quality and éxcellent style of the goods themselves tell at once a 
convincing tale of economy to the man who is anxious to save. 
It has always been our custom in past years to clean up each season’s goods" 
and this season will be no exception to our iron clad rule—in fact we’ve got to 
clean up every garment as our quarters are small and no room has been pro- 
Weare “The Little Store with the Goods”: 
vided to pack away goods. 
stock is always clean, snappy and up-to-date.
