OUR unprecedented Reduction Se le still continues, and is
now the sensation of the day. The public have long since
learned that we never advertise fake closing out sales and flim
flam cost sales.
When we advertised to the world that we were going to close
out our entire stock of Shoes (exclusive of our Star line) at a tre
mendous sacrifice, and at prices regardless of former values, we
meant every word we said, and our customers who have filled their
wants here are walking advertisements for us, for they are all
astounded at the magnificent values we are giving.
Our stock was large and fresh and is still unbroken. There
are thousands of bargains here that will never be duplicated on
this market again. We musk get iid of them, for we need the
room for our new STAR LINE SHOES,, and at the prices we
have put on them, they will not be long iu moving. Wise mer
chants, especially, are invited to replenish their stocks at prices
they can't get from any jobber.
