This sale starts Saturday morning at 9 o'clock sharp -not before. ' This is a strenuous time With us. We have no complaints to make,
yet we are not so busy that we can forget the efforts of our friends to save every cent's worth of goods that they possibly could. We will
have to stand a good loss. The insurance companies have been very considerate this we appreciate. Here is $8,000.00 worth of goods 1
of different kinds that have Jn some way either been soaked or dampened vviti water. No use to tell you that this will.be a quick sale.
We have dried nearly every piece so that they look good and will all wear their usual length of wear. Please notice the kinds that are from
this wetting. The largest amount of this loss comes on our ready-madt department up stairs. You cannot grab any too quick. Every
thing is a water bargain. Nothing let out on memorandum or laid aside. If you buy something that you do not want don't bring it back
to us, sell it to some one else that will want a bargain. Several pieces of these goods will never show a watermark. There is no smoke in
these goods to hurt their quality. We are not going to describe any of these goods in this water sale. Just give you a list of kinds that
our insurance made good, kinds that you will have to be on hand to get.
