Clothing, Furnishings and Shoes To be closed out, regardless of price—slightly damaged by smoke and water on the night of September 26th Although the fire which occurred in the store at midnight on the night of September 26th was a stubborn one, the blaze was confined to a small area owing to the brilliant fight waged by the firemen. The great loss, however, was by smoke, water and steam, from the water being thrown on the blaze. The insurance adjuster, however, advised the payment of almost a total loss on the goods so damaged. BEGINNING SATURDAY, 9:30 A. M. This Entire Store will be thrown to the mercy of the Public We haven't made any effort to get up prices for this adL, even had we done so the prices would be so rediculously low as to make them almost unbelieveable. The show windows give but a vague idea of how the stock is to be sold. J. STARIN CO. 1332 PAC. AYE. LOOK FOR THE FIRE SALE SIGNS PAGE SEVEW.
