THE FIRST HVE DAYS REVEALED MARKED INTEREST IN THE
Martin Moses Co. Big Sale
The Good Old Prices of 1912-13 Look Good To The People
The word is traveling fast. "Have you been to the Martin Moses Co. Sale?" Scores are asking this question of their
friends and are urging them to come to take advantage of the savings offered. Not since the days of 1912-13 have you
seen anything like the prices we are offering during this FIFTEEN DAYS SALE. The people have been waiting for
lower prices and this sale brought them just what they were looking for. Our most enthusiastic friends and old-time
customers however are marveling at this supreme effort at price cutting. It's the biggest cut in price we have ever
made and it's the biggest cut you'll see made this year. Seeing is believing. We want you to see. Everything in the
store included in this sale.
Men's Clothing SACRIFICED !
Prices renll\ so sensational you will think we found or
inherited them. We did neither. We bought them at
rock bottom figures. You know we unloaded nil our

to buy at the new low level our present stock of eloth
in#. We have greatly reduced our stock this season,
and have decided to close out the balance at once, re
gardless ot' the cost or value. To look means to be
brought face to face with the greatest opportunity in
