do that it would be necessary for M r.
Murphy to win nine straight coutests. |
There are two, J. A. Barragar and H.

but they would have to win every game
they are yet to play in order to do that.

year, carry one of our watches.

from Kern's decides.
P. E. KERN,
Mid-Winter Sale
Starting Monday, Jan. 9
To make room for our new spring1 stock, we are
going- to devote the balance of this month to one of
the greatest Price Cutting Sales ever held in this
city. Very few people in Skagway will jump at
ficticious bargains a second time. If you fool them
once, you may rest assured that they will fool you
by letting your second attempt go unnoticed. It
is because we have always delt with the people
j honestly that our offerings are well treated. Our
class of goods goes to them as the best they can
get and when they prove to the contrary, "We al
ways make good." When we announce a reduc- '
tion in prices, people know prices are reduced, for
the former prices are always on the goods, with the
new ones added.
for This Week We Offer the following
DRESS G-OODS
In face of the fact that the price of all
woolen goods is advancing every day and
that were we to purchase the same lines
today we should be compelled to advance
prices- Here we are offering them to you
at prices that should clean out the stock
in a week.
