K v: .J5 - The Sale For Thirty Days we pour out sunshine to all of the V people, and not the favored few. 7ST This store was erected for the THE LEADER. masses and not the classes. Your dollnr here will do the same work as the millionaire's. The greatest awakening that this city ever saw. The whole town is in an tipro r. The people will be going to and fro like chain lightning. We arc going to raise the roof if it is necessary and let in the sunshine that we propose to pour out to the people for the next thirty days as never before by man in this city. The whole house will bVab'la'zcrwith bar gains. Fire, water and smoke, backed by the sheriff, could not make the prices we propose to make for the next thirty days. There is no getting next of the favored few. Wc arc starting a sale for thirtv davs commencing November 8th and wiudinir un at midniirht. "December 8th, that is for the t mnvifiQ ruifl tint tlm r.1np4. Thousands of dolk 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 S 0, 0 0 0 0 0 0 masses and not the classes. Thousands of dollars worth of the highest grade merchandise in this community. The big plain figures reads as the book says 843,976.31. It will be the greatest upheaval of merchandise within . the walls of this city since she came on earth. There is not to be one item held in reserve. Pizcr is directing the big guns, and you can hear the cannon balls falling into the enemy's camp. He is flying, but he cannot escape. The missiles and shells arc hitting him which ever way he looks. With us it is an absolute tret there sale. We must have cash and that quick; and thirty days is the allottcdtime for us so do that it would take n vrtr in iln in nrvlinnrv c rril mstntlCOK. The whole house is in an uproar. She is ablaze with bargains. We must cut loose. We bought too heavy and we arc going to unload right at the time and take our loss when others arc figuring for their usual SO to 100 per cent profit, and the farmer and the workingmcn get the benefit. You will hear of sales and you will sec sales, you will .hear of signs and you will see signs, but they will only be signs of distress. There will only be one place here where you will hear the cannonading and where the shells are being deliv ered, into the enemy's camp at the most fearful rate .you ever saw. The storming of San Juan Hill won't be a comparison of the way we pour it into the enemy, and they will be falling like flies in December. The city is awake. They are coming from all nuarters to attend this sale. They will be here in & buggies, wagons, on hoss back, a foot, and hundreds of them win ue coming in vaimaiiuu cms. it manwio vi w a they come, just so they come down here. We will', treat them better than they were ever treated in their lives. You will find here in many lines one dollar will do the work of two dollars elsewhere. It is cut loose now, not later. This store will be a seething mass of humanity. Rain or shine, the sale goes on. Nothing short of a. cyclone could stop us and we do not believe, at least we hope they will not have it in these parts during this sale or in the future. We are going to start out to unload the whole shooting match if we can and get ready for greater, grander and more aggressive merchandise methods. We arcnotatraid to tell the people what we are going to do, and there is not item in this house when vou enter the door but what you can sec the red ticket of destruction staring you in the face. The walls will be lined with goods, the counters piled full; boxes, barrels and fables jammed full of goods. Ev.cry nook and corner will have bargains in. We are hunting for room to get this merchandise out to display it to the people. In fact, there arc 69,000 bargains in this house instead of four or five as you will find others attempting to make, and no one item but what you-will buy for less money than you have been.btiying inn this house and elsewhere. It is the greatest harvest of your lives. It will pay you to come a hundred miles to lay in your supplies for the next six months or a year. It matters not whether you want a suit of clothes, an overcoat for yourself or the boy, a dress pattern or a dozen ior your wife and the girls, or whether you want underwear for the whole family; whether it is shoes for yourself, the children or your wife, whether it is a paper of pins, a dress pattern of any kind, silk or satin; whether it is corsets, cloaks or shoes, blankets, comforts, notions of any and all kinds; in fact, we have put them out and we believe we can show you in round numbers f9,000 items and they all go at the most ruinous prices you ever saw. You will hear other merchants on the outside roaring that we are losing thous ands of dollars in order to gather in this cash, but we cannot help what they say; we are not going to try to run their in stitution and we do not belivc they will run ours, at least we hope then won't. It is a is:antic undertaking to unload, but we arc loaded to the guards and you get - the benefit. You will hear them. They will be weeping, but they will weep alone. The' farmer and workingman will never hear 'em. They know this sale was started; they know the men behind it: HiPir word is their bond, and nothing on the face of this unrlli ran utnn lliom. Tt will be carried into effect and from the morn'mar of Nov. 8th to Die. 8th, 19J2, you greatest m jrc'.undUc bittle ever carried on under the con y. solidated roofs of this bij; store you have ever had the plea's urc of seeing in your lives, but with us it is cash we want and we want it quick, and it is the duty you owe yourself and family to place your hard earned dollars where they will go the fartherest." The harvest is on; the golden opportunity is before voir Will you come and gather m some of the big bargains that arc waiting for you and your frieuds? We be lieve you will. We have a nice line of Men's and Boys' Suits and Over coats and they will go at prices that would even make the sheriff ashamed if he was in charge. VVc are going to unload here and.duck coals here wou't cost but little more than overalls elsewhere. Men's Suits from $2.98 up, Children's two-piece suits from 68 cents up, three-piece suits from $1.48 up. We arc starting in with one line of honest made over alls made by honest hands, there is not a convict's stamp on them; they cost you 39 cents during this sale, and worth SO to 65 cents in any other store in this community. Then we have some overalls that cost a little bit more money, but they still cost 20 to SO per cent less than vou pay for them elsewhere. And we have over 500 pairs of men's odd pants. You always like to have three or four pairs of extra pants. Here is an opportunity to pick them up at the price of j'eans pants elsewhere. Remember, no matter what kind of a suit you want in our big clothing department you will find suits bf every description and kind. In fact, our custom-made goods looks like tailors-made goods' und costs one-half less. Mothers, we want you to come down and get your wants in the clothing line for the little folks. The golden oppor tunity is before you. The like was never seen before, and we don't believe ever will be again in jthis city. The whole store is shaking from center to circumference. It is shaking with the prices that arc low enough to make anything shake. 3DJEZ7 GrOOIDS DEPT. COATES' THREAD will be sold 7 spools for 25 cents.

They are here for all of the people and not tha lavorcd few. You will be able now to procure two dress patterns at about the price of one elsewhere. Nothing you can ask for but what we have in that line. We are now, always have been and always expect to be, the acknowledged leaders in the dress goods in this city. No one questions that, but the reason we arc putting the knife into these goods at this season of the year, right when it is the harvest in profit-makinp for the average man, is we want cash and we want it bad and we believe the ladies vnll accept the proposition and come and buy one, two and probably a dozen pattern!! at the price. We are talking linings just as Joud as'we are talking dress goods, because the dress findings arc things which every one must have. Here you will find findings cost but little.
