The Leading Store Inaugurates Friday, July 3rd
A NOTABLE SERIES OF SUMMER CLEARANCE SALES
During the next few weeks every department
will have many bargains to offer—prices will
be reduced to insure a thorough clearance
of all summer goods.
No good store likes to carry one season's stock over for a year—it is a
much better selling policy to dispose of merchandise in season even though
a much smaller profit must be accepted. We realize that our offers must
be very tempting and that our bargains must be money-savers. Read our
ads during the coming weeks and you will see how well we have succeeded.
Our shelves are filled with desirable merchandise of every description
but it is merchandise that must be sold before our Fall stocks arrive. So
prices have been reduced.
Of course we cannot mention all the bargains to be found here but we
can give you some idea of the money-saving possibilities of this Series of
Sales.
White linen collars, nicely laun
dered, well made. Price 35 cents.
Dainty embroidered collars.
Prices 25 and 50 cents.
Plain hemstitched collars, with
black or white silk ties attached,
something very new. Price 75

A MISTAKEN IDEA
There are some people who still resort
to dragged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unadulterated nourishment in Scott's
Bmulsion is eminentlybetter, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This isa mistaken idea, because Scott's
Bmulsionfirststrengthensthebodybefore
making flesh. Its blood-forming proper
ties aid nature to throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed onlybyits continued use.
Avoid alcoholicsubstitutes for SCOTT'S.
