IIEWLY ARRIVED FALL GOODS ADD SPICE TO JULIUS ORKIH'S ENLARGING SALE Next Few. Day Must Accomplish Two Things: A Riddance ' of Present Summer Stocks and a Quick Disposal of . Fall. Attire That Arrived Too Early. The modern merchant must u.e his wits, knd eten then he must oc casionally submit to an actual sac rifice of stock and profits. The tall end of an . urtususllr unseasonable season & detracting enough, but, when a merchant has an overload thrust upon an overload it takes su preme effort to eet out from under. The case of Julius Orkln, the pop ular women's apparel specialist at 161C Douglas St., Is a typical one. Mr. Orkln not only has the cares of a complete remodeling and enlarg ing on his hands, but. is now con fronted with cAtte after rase of ad vance fall garments. The garments were ordered ln'gndd Jalth before Mr. Orkln had decided to remodel, and such being1 the rnse must be accepted from the makers. i AffiiDY THIS tn I v r Jtt ufM n A Tftf K OF COATS SUITS SRTSVMISTS if.

There Is only one course to pur sue and that is to hurl the contents of each ncwljr arrived case of Fall goods bodily Into the "Enlarging Sale" now featured at the Orkln es tablishment. It matters not what these new Fall wearables would have brought a few weeks later; they must go now. They must go because Julius Orkln has firmly de termined to open his newly re modeled establishment with au en tire new stock; there must not be a thread of the old stock remaining, and. if he keeps tho newly arrived Fall goods even a few weeks Mr. Orkln would repnrd them old, for he is a stickler for style. That Is the reason you may well buy your Fall goods a little ahead Julius Orkln offers you plenty ot inducement. mm"-: d "A i i - ' LADIES5 nl55t DRESSE Remember that a complete rid dance of stock counts more now with Julius Orkln than the amount of money received for the goods; remember also that he will not only completely remodel his present establishment at 1510 Douglas street, but that he will add and re model the entire building one door oast at 1508 Douglas street.
