Clearing Out Sale. Our entire stock of shoes and cloth ing, we will close out in the next six’y days. We will give a discount of 15 per cent, on all cash sale. No discount will be given on goods sold in exchange for produoe. We have the largest stock of shoes and clothing in the county and this is a chance for cash purchasers to get the fidl value for their money. We will do no Itusine88 only for spot cash. Come and get out prices, we will gu arantee to save you money when you buy goods of us. You do not have to pay the long time price, neither do you hgve to pay your share for the fellow that never pays. You will find it to your interest to buy your goods at a oash store. When you buy goods at the long time store you must expect to pay the long price, we don’t believe in the theory to compel the man who pays spot cash for bis goods, to be charged the same price as the man who buys on a year’s time. Therefore we belive the cash buyer should have a place to trade where he can get the value of bis money and hence we propose to relive the cash purchaser of the painful necessity of being compelled to trade at tbe long price store and paying long prices for his goods. We do a strictly cash busi ness and therefore you do not have to pay these long prices. Sulliyan Mercantile Co. 43 3 O’Neill Neb. Visiting cards just like an engraving. 50c for 50 at The Frontier.
