We lciiow of no better suggestion than that you visit our store where assortments
are greatest and lines most complete. While our trade has been even greater than
anticipated, we have kept the stock complete by daily receipts of goods. When one
line became dpeleted, we wired for more, hence your show of getting what you want
is just about as good as at the opening of our great Christmas Sale.

snatched victory from tho jaws of de
feat and won by ono point. Up to

romped tho ivories over the table a la
Henry Rebhausen and defeated
"Baldy" by twelve bllliads and sent
the Fleishman team under the wire
ono point ahead of the Day team.
There was great rejoicing by ono
team and the gnashing of teeth by
the other, and of course Captain Day

whether deserved or not.
