To the readers of the Jou ß.
nal we do not feel the ne ces
sity of an introduction, A 9 no
doubt we hav« had a business
acquaintance with the, major
ity of them previou A to this
What we have to say to
day we think will interest
those who have favored us
with their patronage, and who
oaa vouch xor the reliability
of our remarks, as well as
those whom we are desirous
of making patrons of.
That which will be of most
interest to buyers during this
excessive hot weather is that
class of goods which is
most conducive to comfort
We have made this class of
goods doubly interesting at I
the present time by reason of |
the sweeping reductions we
have made, to hold good
until July 1. Comprised in
this class of goods ia our ex
tensive line of
REFRIGERATOR«*,
BABY CARRIAGES,
ICE CHESTS
MEN'S, BOYS' and
YOUTHS' CLOTHING,
DRESS GOODS,
MILLINERY,
CARPETS and
FURNITURE.
As a rule Refrigerators and
Ice Cheats are generally sold
at the price shown in the
maker's price list. To dispose
of what we have by July 1
we have made a reduction
allowing 20 per c nt. discount
of mr.kers' list. It is merely
turning our stock into the
cash we paid for it Wise
buyers call early.
Things that keep moving
right along and that we feel
little necessity for giving an
extra push to by reducing tbe
price is our handsome line of
Baby Coaches. Nevertheless
to make the reduction general
and give prominence to our
special price sale we have cut
tne price considerably.
Coaches that were $8.50,
$10.00, $12,00, $15.00, and
$20.00 are now $7.00, $8.00,
$10 00, $12.00 ana $16 00
All others reduced likewise.
