You have probably noticed that "we set the pace," and it is such a hot one it is impossible for them to keep up. No other house would offer this stock at the ridiculously low prices we have put on it, We bought it for cash, and we are selling it for cash on the smallest possible margin. We do not care to make any money out of it, pre ferring to use it as an advertisement for future business. Men $ Suits, $2.50, $4.00, $5.00 and up. Bear with us a little if you cannot all be waited upon at once. We have an extra force of salesmen, and Mr. Moore, of the late firm, is with us. The Continental had only been established for a few months, hence the stock was in prime condition, and comprises the very highest class of Clothing. In no cases are we asking more than half price. There were a quantity of Boys' Hats, Caps, Shirt Waists and Furnishings, which, not being in our line, are going for a song. Bridget ;traightforward Clothiers, 315 rth St. fle und a halt furlongs.
