It is most important for us to cut prices for the reason each season we buy full stocks, hence we do not care to have $ny lefts over and the loss on our part cannot possibly be very great owing to the quantity on hand being limited." It is most fortunate for each and every consumer of dry goods within the reach of this great store to come to this sale 'and see the untold values we are giving.

Of Notions HARDWARE MEN HERE Gathering 111 Mitchsll in Large Hum 'ni". 4 bers for Ui9 Organisation of an Associatiou. The Jate trains over the Milwaukee and Omaha roads Tuesday afternoon aDd evening brought' in a large num ber of delegates to the first meeting of the South Dakota Retail Hard ware Dealers' Association, and trains today added a large nutnbep to those already in. A«ide from the dealers are the representatives of a good many wholesale firms and in the hotels where they are stopping their signs :ire displayed in gorgeous array, add sample rooms have been sceured for the display of th$ir line of goods. The hardware men^s convention is the'first of a series to be held in tyljCgjtell: dating, the coming thirty days, .and the gentlemen are. most coridallv welcomed to the freedom of the city. About 150 barwdare men, mostly fiptn: the southern| part of the state gathered at the citv half Wednesday to organize themselves into the South Dakota Hardware Betail Dealers' As sociation. A few short talks were given by some of the prominent hard ware men in which they expressed themselves at being very much pleased to see the hardware men break away from the Retailers' Asso ciation and formulate plans for an association of tbieir own. E. D. Hawkins was elected tempor ary chairman and E. I. Gregory as secretary. A committee to draft by laws and a nominating committee were appointed to report at the after noon session. MADE THE ORGANIZATION Hardware Men Completed the Or ganization by Electing Officers Will Meet in Aberdeen. he most important and interest ing session of the Hardware Dealers Asscoiation was held at the citv hall Thursday forenoon and was address ed b£ L. M. Corev, secretary of the Naionul Hardware Dealers Associa tion. Mr. Corey spoke at length on the competition of the catalogue houses. He gave as the points in favor of the retail store the opportunity to talk quality, to^inspect the goods, explanation of mistakes can always be made, goods can be compared and selections made and deliveries promptly ma,de. While on the other side when buying of the catalogue house buying is done sight and un seen, from written descriptions un der extravagant claims with no chance for choice and liable for de lays and damage. The dealers no not talk the ad vantages of buying ot the retail stoie and the disadvantages of buying of the mail order houses as much as they should. It was Mr. Corey's opinton that not more than 5 per cent Qf dealers ever speak of the cat alogue to their customers. We talk it In meetings but never get out and talk it among the people while in the meantime thousands cf letters and price lists are flooding the muils. Theidealers should obtain the list of all the catalogue buyers and endeav or to obtain his trade by personal conveisation and through the mail •T^e advantages of the letail over the'mail order system are the oppor tunities for personal acquiantances, the support or the local newspapers, the chance to display goods, argu •'v' 'tziti.rnz, -4 ,u |s*o -&> 10c perfumes for Ladies 15c collars for Mens collars, each... 10c turn overs for 19c turn overs for...

I After Mr. Corey's talk'^h^assocfa tion decided hy a unanimous* Vbtfc' -to join the National Association^ahd a motion was made to extend to* Mr. Corey the thanks of the asabcifetion for his earnest interest wliich he had taken in the organzatlon of the asso ciation. Mr. Corey said tbat'h@ofeas glad to welcome South Dafcbta'"lnto tne National Association and that he would leave with a most warm feel ing of welcome wbich he had received here. The election of officers was now taken up and the following were elected: President—E. D. Hawkins, Ver million. Vice President—Otto B. Muller, Aberdeen. 5 Treasurer—B. G. Wattson, Cham berlain.

Hawkins and' Noah Keller were selected as delegates to the Na tional Convention which meets the next summer at Chicago. When it came to selecting the place for the next convention a communi cation was read from Commercial club asking the hardware men back to Mitchell next year. There were several men in attend ance from the northern part of the state and it seemed to be their opin ion that it would be to the best in terests of the association to have it in the northern part of the state and when the ballots were counted Mitchell had 23 votes and Aberdeen 29. At the afternoon session a photo graph of all the delegates were taken. The memberships of 68 is expected to be increasd to 100 by tbe close of tbe convention Address of O. L. Schutc. At the Wednesday afternoon ses sion, Mr. O. L. Schutz, a represen tative of the Hardware Trade, Min neapolis and St. Paul, presented tbe flrst paper of tbe convention on "Co operation Among Retailers." Mr. Scbultz said in part: "Necesaities for orgamzatiou are go self-evident that it is impossible for any wide awake merchant to dodge the Issue any longtir. It is not for me to make even a rude outline of tbe many difficulties that now beset the retail merchant. The trend of trade to ward elimination of the middle man grows more evident evey day.

There are certain' manufactur ers who are trying to do the,in and out shoot act and by- so doing cut out the Jobbers', and retailers' profits. These very people- stand ^cocking at tbe door of commerce today,'demand ing that tbe government shall throw opea the mail service to their pack ages—to further burden tbe postal service and to furliter tax the Ameri can people in aid of their business You and your associates retailers of South Pakota have' blocked tbe schemes of anptber class ot there to day and there tomorrow trade pi lates in passing the peddlers' law two years ago.

The. retailers'In thia state might" stand, up and bowl agalnat these bills until you split your throats and the answer would be exactly what the wild waves ait always saying—nothing mora tangl-* ble. But let all tbe retailers of tbo state about their opposition through association resolutions and your con gressman and senators woulddotbsir best to punch holes through tbo Henry bills." Mr. Scbutz referred to tbe class of people who never pay tbelr bills and spoke of the advantages that would accrue to the merchants in tbe co operation against this class, suggest ing a central office in some part of the state in cbarge of a sceretary with whom could be filed the names of tbe dead beats In the towns. Tbia information could be spread around and an end put to the system. Mr. ScbutB also suggested the abolishing of the system of cutting prices"!n a town add for the business men to stand togetber, not, however, in tbe form of a trust on prices, but merely as a business proposition. He con sidered price cutting reprehensible enough and sufficiently expensive to impress itself upou all thinking merchants as one of the most seri ous evils in the retail trade. In closing Mr. Schutz spoke with special reference to the enforcement of the peddlers' law and said tbat tbe law bad been proved constitutional and that if peddlers invaded any terri tory in tbe state and sold goods it was the fault of the retail merchants. themselves, for tbev had the law be hind them and the officers to enforce it when they bad been apprised jf its violation. Mr. Scbutz congratulated tbe hard ware men on-the consummation of the organization and believed that much good would result in the years to come from the step wbicb bad been taken at this time.
