Bargains offered at the opening of the season tliat will interest economical buyers everywhere. Bargains that will demonstrate
most forcibly the total absurdity of the claims of other merchants to the effect that they sell as cheap as we do. They don't, and they
know it. You know it, and every other careful buyer knows it, and the only fellow who don't know it is the fellow who is forced to
buy on time or persists in trading at some particular store on account of friendship. We do not like to underestimate the value of
friendship, but the merchant who charges you from two to live dollars more than we do for a suit of clothes is not the kind of friend
that we would be looking for this spring if we were going to buy a suit, and neither would you if you knew it. How shall you know
these tilings? How shall you know that it is a fact that our stock shows twice the variety, twice the quantity, that is shown by any
of our followers, and that we save you from 20 to 33 per cent on every purchase? BY GOMPABISON, OF COUESE! Comparison of
quality, comparison of prices, comparison of methods, comparison of equipment. That's the way for you to find out, and its the only
logical way, for you are high court in this case, and if you make these comparisons thoroughly, we shall be orily too glad to rest bur
case with you. .
