must be sold High Tariff, Low
Tariff, or no tariff. Free trade is
what we indulge in today. Buy

Our low prices is the magnetic at
traction. Our unremitting efforts
bring about us a constant flow of
trade. Busy all day yesterday, but our
"closing out prices" would make the
dullest season gay. Our entire stock
must be sold during next mouth
nothing reserved that can be dis
posed of. At this season of the year
there is a custom among merchants
to get up all "Stickers," bad colors
unsaleable goods, old style toughs,
sc, and place them on a bargain
counter. They are usually dear at
any price. Not so with us. Every
thing in our store, the "freshest
laurels" our newest, brightest and
best goods. This summer's purchases
go to make up that comprehensive
term, Bargains which we claim
rather of necessity than choice to
make. Such inducements we offer are
without profit to us. Our loss is
