thing in your life it is shoes, because rou are in them more than half of your time. We have got one
big lot of men’s shoes at 98c that would be considered c neap in other ot these stores at $1.25 to
fa.00. Then we have another bin full of men’s shoes at fl.39 taat are considered good as gold at
$1,75 to $2.55 no matter where you go. And the kind of men’s shoes we sell at $1,48 are the same
kind you are paying every day of your life $2 po to $2.50 for. and the ones we sell at At 98 have ab-
solutely wakened the natives out of their boots. When it crmes to the $2.48 kind for men, go where
you will pay {3.50 to $4.30 for them, but Sandifer bids youwelcome under the root of his big store
and that means it is a welcome that comes from fhe bottom of his heart. We want cash and we
want to pait with our shoes. We will tell you about the ladies’ shoes at 98c and we are going to
show them to you, and they are worth in any other community $1.25 to $a.po. And the {1.19 kind
are absolutely worth $1-50 to $2.15, and the some thing applies to the ones we ara going to sell at
$1.98 for the ladies, only the other fellow gets $2.50 to $3.50 for them. It is the shoe harvest of
your lives, and for the little fellows, the children and the boys, absolutely shoes cost but little; in
fact, you will hear some of the merchants say we are giving them away. As we said before, we can-
not help what they say. If you want shoes you will certainly be here and buy hhlf a dAzen pairs
and fit the whole family out

ten not Aether you want Whiprods, Knickerbockers or Etsmines, Venetian, Melrese, Granites,
Serges, Cashmeres, Silks or Satins, or anything that was ever made in the dress goods
line, we oury nothing but faahon’s latest. We have been buying them direct from the men who
made .tlyem and they are going oat to you at the most ruinous prices you ever sew. In fact,
be ieve you will be down to buy half a dozen dress patterns for yourself and the girls, because such an
uncertaking was never attempted before in this city or county,. High carnival will reign throughout
the entire store. Our cash gathering must come out and it must come fast. We are going to talk
Ladies’ and Misses’ Jackets because we are going ro talk them at prices never seen or heard of be-
ore. We have oee lot of Jackets at £2.98.absolutely worth double in any other store in this town;
Jlhen we have another lot ot Jackets for the Ladies at $4 98 that would be coneidered cheap in any of
tthese war-bried stores at *8.5* to I10.00. You will find anorher big stack of Ladies’ Jackets at
$6.48 the* would be as good as. gold dollars at f 12.00 to $i4.co in any other store in this town, and
the kind we are Jelling at $7.98 and $8.98 and up to $11.98 are absolutely worth double, and you are
paying it else where. It is your dollar you have got and it is your dollar you have got and it is the
duty you owe yourself and family in these times or any other times to place them where they will go
the farthest. Rgmember, you should have mansions instead of building them for the other fellow,
and here is the opportunity you have to continence saving in buying merchandise from us during our
sacrifice- unloading cash-getting sale.
The whole house is topsy turvey. Everything is rearranged. There never was such a
change in any store in this community. Absolutely, 9 cents here in notions will do the work of 15
cents in any other store in this town. We are going to talk notions because when you enter the door
you will find them lined out from one end of the house to the other. The big red tickets will be on
them so your child, as well as yourself, can come here and buy with safety. Reni*mber that any
item got in this house that does not meet with your approval that Is not cut off of the bolt, can be re-
turned and your cash will be cheerfully refunded to you, and no questions asked.
No goods will be charged and nothing will go out on approval. It is all cash with us, and if
you get what you don’t want, return it and get your money for it, provided it is not cut off of a bolt.

$1.00. on every one in this house to what you have been paying for them elsewhere. In other words

and ones you buy here at $1.98 are biggest values you ever saw in any of these war priced stores at
three to four dollars; and the ones you buy at $2,49 are worth double in any other store in this town.
Then, we have some kinds at $3.69, $3.98, $5.98 that are worth 50 to 75 per cpnt more in gold in
any other store in.this town, but wit us it is part with the tailored-made skirts and get cash quick.

direct from the shoulder. The wheel horse is behind the gun, 4pd Sandifer is directing them and
they are lighting in the enemy’s camp and hitting them until! you can hear them tor miles around.
The psices speak out in great big plain figures. In other words, many Waistings in sbis house you

EVER known to man. For thirty days we are going to do the battle of our lives. For thirty days we are going to baftle for the masses and not the
For thirty days we want to make this the greatest cash-gathering that ever appeared within the history of this community for with it is cold cash
we want and we must have it quick. The People Get The Benefit.
ALL former attempts at merchandising by us or ayn other concern m this county will be
eelpsed beyond all question. The city will be in a stir as never before. A hustle and a bus-
tie throughout the entire big institution owned and controlled by us that will wake mortal man
from his slumbers and make competition howl until you can hear them for biockh around.
IT will be a wonderful gathering of people. It is time wifh us and we want cash and
we are going to give the people the benefit We wi>l raise the roof if it is necessary. It will
be a hot time in the old town now. We are going to pour shot aad shell into the enemy’s
camp until they think we are once mote stotming San Jaun Hill. There will be cannonading
all along the tines, for with us it is cut lose and unloaded now,, not later. Our loss will be
the people’s gain, and we expect them for twenty five miles around to turn out to this, the har-
vest fof of the people and not the favored few.

agam Absolutely, one dollar here will do very near thh work of two dollars elsewhere on many
fines, and next Wednesday morning. Dec. 14, when these doors open yon will see such a gathering
of people ns never appeared on the streets of this city before. Rain 01 shine, the battle goes on.
We have pot our word out to the people and you know how well we have kept it. O.«r word to you
will be oar bond, and there is not one item in this house or half a dozen going to be put out for a
bait as you will find plenty trying to do, but over 49,000 items, all at a price that never met mortal
man’s eyes before- From one end of this big store to the other you will find the greatest flutteiing
of red ticket with the price of destruction marked in plain figures and staring you in the face, no
matter which door you come in. The whole shooting match goes to the people. We want to do ten
times the business of our lives, besause we want cash, We expect multitudes standing in hoe, and
your share will be here for you.
W* have put on about twenty extra sales-people, and no matter whether the sun shines or
whether it is raining, it will pay you to gather up your gum coats, mackintoshes, unbrellas and come
down and see the greatest display of merchandise sold for the least money that prer appeared to
your eye or any,other person’s eye since you were born. Not one item will be held in reserve. We
know it is an immense undertaking, and while others will tell you Sandifer is losing, thousands of dol-
lars in order to make this sale a success, that we cannot help. We are do trying to run ours We
are going out after the cold cash and /e are coming out and asking von to part with it at a season of
the year when all men expect to make their 50 and 100 per cent profit, but with us profit is a thing of
the past Wholesale prices and lessen hundreds oi items throughout this entire institution.
