The casket, was found to be

The Immense Summer
I CLEARANCE SALE'I
pillow On.
Today has been a great rush on the Dry Goods side. Eager
buyers were here early and with our extra help at time's we could
not wait on the crowds. People are grasping the golden oppor
tunity to buy goods for so much less than they are worth. People
have learned that when Parks & Co. make a statement the goods
are there and just as represented: Each day we will name special
values that are added to the attractions. Every thing put on sitle
will remain so till closed out. The object of this Six Weeks
Clearance sale is to rid the shelves and reduce tho .stock in ' order
to make the desired changes in August. In order to do so quickly
we have sacrificed profits and a goodlv sized'slice of cost. Every
purchase is a saving and the goods are just what is demanded
now for comfort.

There has been real lively sell
ing at this counter today. And
no wonder for all the 2.r)c colored
