A Nine Days Wonder Sale. Ever since the beginning of European hostilities early in August the certainty that much higher price? would prevail on all Imported goods and on all Ameri can made goods whenever foreign products were used has been the dominant note in American merchandis ing; so that the enormous quantities of high class merchandise gathered in this store during the past Z months had seemed wise and thoughtful and our buy ers were given widest latitude on quantities, if prices were only low enough. Many unforseen circumstances, coupled with the de lay of winter, decreased consumption, etc., and the in sistent demands for payments from makers and im porters has decided us to throw overboard all sur plus provisions, and to meet the necessities of the situ ation by a NINE DAYS SALE, which will be a TRU LY WONDER from start to finish. .

The temptation was very great for our depart ment heads to buy largely when the prices of all kinds of merchandise was jumping up by leaps and bounds every day. Unfavorable trade conditions, much idle labor, a backward season and the need of much ready money, all combined, are our reasons for this most unusual cutting of prices right at the beginning of the sea son. Whether we were right or wrong the people have the advantage of these great savings. Come and help yourselves There Are Prices Here That Have Not Been Equalled, quality considered in many years.
