REHODELING AND CASH=RAISINQ SALE!
Monday, May the 9th, we will commence our big Remodeling Sale, for cash. This sale, we
believe, will be one of the biggest sales we have ever had in Albany. We have two reasons for
having this sale. One is we are going to remodel our store all over, and make it more conven-
ient for our customers, so we can better attend to the wants of the trade, and have a prettier
store, and the other reason is we have a large stock of Spring Goods that we want to sell for
the cash, and we want to give our customers the benefit of the reduced prices. We will sell you
more goods for the money than you ever got before in your life. This sale will last two weeks,
and I can assure you that every day during these two weeks we can save you from 20 to 50
per cent on anything you may want in my line.
Thin Dress Fabrics—Nothing'Kept Back.
I have one of the nicest lines of spring dress
goods that was ever shown in a town the size of
