Ves—I have to get out of the. Dry Goods business. My health is such that
* I can not stand the confinement any longer—so will have to give it up and
seek outdoor-employment of some kind. In order to do this I fully realize
I will have to make VERY LOW PRICES, below original cost in' many
cases. Be that as it may, what I must do in protection to myself is to get
this stock into money at some price, which if prices go for anything. I am
going to do.

Remember this is no trick of the trade to get rid of an old stock of out-of-date goods. "I Mean Exactly What
I Say." I am forced to get out of business on account of my health. My stock is new and up-to-date. Much
of it being received for this falls business. In fact I have quite a lot of ladies suits, ladies and childrens cloaks,
furs, etc., yet to come which will be here soon and at prices to please you. You have not had such an oppor-
tunity to save money on your fall bill in a long time. Of course you don't know that by my saying so, but
you will know it and profit by it if you will ONLY come in and get prices. It is impossible to price every ar-
ticle in a $35,000,00 stock on paper of this size-but will quote ONLY a few, so come in and let us make you a
price on what you want.

Absolutely No Goods CHARGED TO ANYONE During This "Forced Sale
it is with great reluctance, I put this sale before (he people. For twenty-live years, within only a few feet of my present business house, ,1 have served the people of
McKinney and Collin county, and tlicy have been good and kind to me. I will go out of business on January 1st, only per the urgent advise of my physician, that I
may regain my heulth. So I am ^oing to sell out my entire stock, regard'ess of profit tome, and'uiy time is extremely limited. It is with a saddened heart that I am
forced to go out of business, buf, 01 es health is worth more than riches or money. I ask all my old time friends from every nook and corner of the county to call on me.
I have tried to terve you with fidelity, and you have always given me your confidence and trade. With a true ana high friendship for one and all, I am,
Very Iicspectfuliy,
