The End o( the Trai
Is Reached a! last
Tomorrow Is the Last Saturday in the Life of the Panton De
partment Store. The Final Reductions Are in Force. The
Store Will Be Open Till 9 o'Clock Saturday Night, So
That Nobody Need Miss the Funeral!
NO SIR!
We don't need a big ad to
night, for every dry the crowd* are
getting bigger
And buying faster
And talking more and more sbout
the tale,
For in a few day* it will be al'
over.
We have agreed with the landlord
to close up the store and turn it over
to him on next Tuesday night, at 6
o'clock.
So you can tee we've no time to
quibble over prices now.
Here'* an inkling of the last reduc
tions. gathered haphazard as I el
bowed my way through the crowds:
FIFTY-CENT Lisle Gloves for 15c
a pair, and lots of 'em!
Thirty-five cent Veilings for 10c
a yard—plain and dotted.
Hundreds of yards of Torchon and
Cluny Laces that were bought to sell
at 25c and 35c are now 10c a yard.
Black Chantilly Lace Bands that
were 19c, are cut to 3c a yard.
Fifty-cent boxes of women's fine
Kerchiefs (never opened) for half
price, 25c, and all the $1.00 boxes at
the same rate, 50c.
All the 25c Kerchiefs are fresh as
a falling snowflake, 12'/xC apiece.
Scores of women buying 'em for
next Christmas.
Many Scotch women and a few
Jewish—
They know—believe me—they
know!
ALL the Cluny Lace Centerpieces,
Scarfs, Doilies, etc., are going
at half. Stamped Pillow Tops that
were 25c and 35c have been cut to
15c. All the 75c ones go for 25c.
Dress Trimmings up to 75c are
selling for 10c a yard.
Don't get the idea that they're poor
and old because they're low priced—
they're not.
ON the center aisle you'll find
Children's Winter Underwear,
selling to beat the band, too! Thirty
nine cents for garments that were
bought to sell at 50c, 75c and 85c.
Forty-five cents for Knitted Wool
Petticoats that were $1.00. Ninety
eight cents for fine Knitted Wool
