newspaper in answer to a letter from a
housekeeper eomplelnlng that servant are
scarce, wages high and service poor, and ,
asking if there ought not to be achoola for
the training of domestic servanta.
"There should be one auch school In
every home,' 'was tha editorial advice. "If
the average man knew aa little about hi
work aa tha average woman doea about
housework th country would soon be In a

they seldom accept thm. No woman t

Taken from every point of view It is the most remarkable sale that has ever been
inaugurated. The discounts we offer on all lines of goods are extraordinary.
i . .
It's Burely advisable to buy the FURNITURE, CARPETS, RUGS AND DRAPERIES you will need this fall now, as you can save from 10 to 60
per cent. You must realize that the remarkable price concessions we are making on' all lines of goods are influenced by the fact that we want to
open our new store with a complete new stock: and consequently must get rid of our present stock. If we were to publish the actual loss we are
taking on our stock of merchandise it would sound like an exaggeration, but we foresaw conditions exactly as they are and carefully calculated
our loss. "We consider, however, that we will be amply compensated by being able to open our new store with an entirely new stock, and, besides,
thousands of you have been waiting for our "REMOVAL SALE" and are 'expecting extraordinary bargains, and it would hardly do to disappoint
you. NO LOSS IS TOO GREAT, NO PRICE TOO LOW, provided it serves to accomplish our aim, which is to make a decisive clean-up of all
lines of merchandise.
