About one hundred years ago a man named .Stewart startled the world and became the greatest merchant of his day by putting on an
honest reduction sale and keeping It up. Ills cash capital enabled him to buy so much cheaper than Ills competitors that he could make prices to
his customers as low as other men bought at wholesale and still make money.
Now we wish It strictly understood that we come as near representing that system as any other gang In Texas. We have on our Reduction
Sale and propose to keep It up. Yours behind Old Homestead,
