Our 35 salesmen were busy from morning : till late at night , to wait on the throngs of customers that crowded our store , and we regret that we were not better prepared , as even that large force of sales men was not sumcient to attend to all , and a good many had to go away. Saturday's business made big holes in our overcoat piles , but we are not through yet. Over one hundred cases of suits and overcoats from our great New York purchase , are still on the way and comine in daily , and we propose to get rid of them as fast as they come in , Last weak we have convinced thousands of customers that they never bought overcoats so cheap as we offered them. This week we will show how low good suits can be sold. Suits that were made by one of the best houses in the country. This is the greatest opportunitv men of moderate means ever had to procure good first class garments at about one half the real value. We cannot describe them all , but we mention a few of the larger lots and which are especially big bargains : J " ?

Our slaughter price is $ C.50. 7R This lot contains .about 250 plain , double and twist , and silk mixed cassimeros , some fine cheviots , elegantly made I U and trimmed , every one worth $18.00 , and that is the price which other dealers would ask for-thcm.
