The fact la emphasised by tha liberal
patronage accorded to George Garner at
hia big mid-summer sals. Mr. Garner
thoroughly believes In modern merchandis
ing and la determined to keep bis entire
stock fresh, snappy and up to tha minute.
Being willing to stand a loaa when neces
sary, he haa put prices on certain lines
that will positively sell tha goods and ef
fect an Immediate cash turnover prior to
an Inventory, which wfll ba made at an
early data Mr. uerner does not hesitate
to slaughter tha price when ha decides to
make a drive on an article, and tha result
is most gratifying from a business stand'
point.
PEOPLE CONTINUE to remark on the
unusual character of the Leffert discount
sale. Discount sales are not out of tha or
dinary In many lines. In the jewelry Una,
where goods are sold on close margin, such
sales are out of tha ordinary. Also, a point
of nota In this sale is that practically tha
entire stock, large and new as It la. Is In
eluded la the discount. It Is not an odds
and ends sale, not a device for dumping on
the public aa assortment of worthless, un
salable junk, but a genuine bona fids dis
count sale where high class goods without
reserve are offered below coat, aa much as
one-third off In some cases. A visit to tha
big Leffert jewelry store la convincing
many people.

Curtiss wll himself act as judga of tha

and there will be a contest of tna sort
held every day of tha meet. Diminutive
aeroplanes with rubber band power will
ba sent up and flown In front of tha

There are no restrictions upon entry

Demonstrations of tha principles of

component parts and principles explained
and flights then made.
Mea: Jra Manager Powell la being be
sieged with inquires about possibility of
flights In company with Curtiss. Many
peopia are timid about aeroplane riding.
Others are mora eager to take a ride In
oca than to do anything alaa In the
world. So many requests of this aort
are coming in that - la certain hundreds
will have to ba turned- down. Accidents
aad deaths in other places do not seam
