The many thousands of people that have attended this sale and went way with arms full of bargains suoh as never were offered to them before can expect still greater bargains In this final clean-up of these two large stocks, notwithstanding that we have sold a very large quantity of goods since starting this sale, but nevertheless the stocks in each of our 25 different departments are still In grand shape regarding sizes, colors and styles, and every one of these departments will be overflowing with the final clean-up bargains that will stagger the people when they see the wonderful low prices staring them In their faces as soon as they get Inside of the largest Bargain Store west of New Yerk city.
