ing Reductions for Quick Clearance
February 13th to :20th
All remaining "Winter lines are now rounded up and priced to force a quick

"New season-new goods" is our rigid policy, and we take a big loss without
wincing to immediately send flying all that's left of our cold weather stocks.
This final Clearance event is so well known to our friends and patrons so

again stress the fact that the goods involved are hurt in price only. All are from our
regular stocks, and the trustworthy quality of every item in the Sale, however
low its price, may be confidently relied on.
We urge early choosing, as many of the biggest bargain lots are small and
-will quickly vanish.
