TEN DAYS !
GREAT MD
INTER SALE
On Wednesday, Dec. 3rd
We will put on one of the greatest Ten Day Sales ever conducted in New Bern. On account of
a short cotton crop, business has not been what we hoped to see it, and having bought a very large
stock that has got to be paid for regardless of short crops, we have decided to put our sale on
early in order to close out the stock quick. As is our custom, every article in our store will be
on sale at cost. Thousands of odds and ends at about HALF PRICE. This will be an event
never seen before in New Bern at this time of year, and thousands of customers will have an op
portunity to buy their Xmas goods at greatly reduced prices. Also their winter goods can be
bought before the cold weather sets in. Below note prices on good many goods. Our stock is too
large to make quotations on everything, but don't forget that everything will be on sale.
