mean literaly speaking, but this is
the kind of move that you see now at

enormous stock of tine dress goods
down to one half it real value. Every
one who has seen these goods, ap
preciates this great reduction, and

rare opportunity of getting a fine
dress at less than one half its real
value. In our shoe department we
have an endless variety of Men's,
