WILMINGTON, DEL., THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1888.
ONE CENT.
NO. 63.
CROSBY & HILL
The great rush continues
notwithstanding the tropical
heat of the last few days.
We hope it is clearly and dis
tinctly understood by every
person that on ail goods pur
chased of us, up to the time
of removal to our new and
elegant store rooms, 605, 607
and 609 Market street, ex
cepting Muslins, Prints and
any goods already marked
down or selling under price,
and a few bound goods such
as Warner's Corsets, we will
allow a
Discount of 10 Per Cent.
That means that you can ge k
of us a dollar's worth of goods
for 90 cents, or, in other words,
for every dollar's worth you buy
of us and pay for we return you
ten cents. The reason of all this
is simply that we are willing to
dispose of our stock at a loss of
ten cents on the dollar rather
than remove it to our new store
at the beginning of September.
In addition to the above advan
tage we have many lots and odds
and ends, particularly in wash
dress goods and wool dress fabrics,
brocade velvets, etc., that have
been marked away down, in some
cases to less than one-fourth the
original cost. The best evidence
that they are cheap is the fact
that people have been so eager to
get them, crowding our store from
day to day. You see we are very
anxious to sell out our entire
stock ao that we may open out an
entirely new stock of goods at our
new store, but notwithstanding
we are so anxious to sell out clean
previous to removal, we were
tempted a clay or two ago to pur
chase two or three special bar
gains. They were so very cheap
that we could not resist the
temptation and our customers
shall have the advantage. Just
think of Men a English Super
Stout Half Hose, all sizes from 9

told, these goods are slightly im
perfect, that is to say, theie are
a few of them marked with little
oil spots, that is all. Just as good
as the 25 cent goods only for that.
They are full regular made goods
and, as most people know are
very duraole—wear almost like
iron. We bought 133 dozens,
a pretty ^ood sized lot for a
suburb of Philadelphia, but they
are such a manifest and unmis
takable bargain that we think

price 13c a pairor-2 pairs for 25c,
or a solid dozen for $1.47. The
next lot consists of 25 dozens La
dies' very fine 40 goage Striped
Hose, made ot a beautiful quality
of yarn, almost as soft as silk.
The goods are worth about 50c.
We have concluded to put this
lot out at 25c a pair, Sizes 8,
8 1-2, 9, 9 1-2. Also a small lot
of Ladies' Black Brilliant Lisle
Hose, which we put in at the
sai.e price We name a special
thing in Ladies Black Silk Mitts
only 12 dozens, worth 50c, for 25e
a pair. What enhances the value
of these goods is tbe fact that
mitts are scarce, the market is
about cleaned out, scarcely any
person has any to sell.
To our friends and customers
we would say that you can save
"believe that never were dry goods
offered so low in this city as at
the present time, by us. ; \
Let us again explain that the
