Ilf TOWEL SALE IB
g Here’s a chance for you tT stock up on towels —good ones—and to do »
it mighty cheap. Last time we went to market, we picked up a lot of
samples—at a little over half price. They have just come in—and to tell A
the truth —it is really a shame to sell them for so little money—but they
take up too much room—couldn’t put them in with our regular line, so we
have arranged them on tables in the center of the store —where you can
get right up and see what they are. O P
There’s Turkish towels —big and heavy, fine linen damask in 1/ L
fancy patterns —good enough to put on your dresser —hemstitched or /// > rjjp
fringed—and there’s the staple buck towels that you use every day—not a Affl
towel in the 9c lot that you are not willing to pay a shilling for, and none
in the 19c bunch that isn’t worth 25c of your money—and many of them
are worth much more than that.
TO-DAY
/?«’. •’TS * s Hie day. and the sale will last until every one is gone—but we hardly
think it will be more than a few days and possibly not that long—so tou
. ** • better make sure and be on hand early if yon want to get the best choice.

—Did you ever stop to consider
why the mail order houses all gave
up their grocery departments just
as soon as the pure food law went
into effect? This little side move
ment speaks volumes within itself.
If they could sell you one hundred
pounds of pure sugar one year ago
at half the price your home mer
chants ask there is no reason why
they can’t do it today. If they
were selling you an adulterated
article, the reason why they quit
the same is obvious. Now, if the
government would pass an “all
wool and a yard wide’’ law what
would be the result, do you suppose?
Don’t all speak at once, but think it
oyer.
