...FALL
There has never been a season since wo began business in Bartlott that we have boon in better
position to offer you unprecedented values for your money than we are this season. Believing that
there would be a sharp advance in all cotton goods before Sept. 1st, we bought enormous lots of such
goods' as Bleached Domestic, Brown Domestic, Sheetings., Cotton Chex, Calicoes, Percales, Ginghams
Canton Flannels, Outings, Hosiery and Underwear. These goods were bought during March and
April at the' same price as we paid last Fall. This means that we will sell all Cotton
Goods as Cheap as last -Fall. Our Assortment of
DRESS GOODS
Is unsurpassed in the city, either in Quantity or Lowness of Price. The latest fabrics of eastern mar-
ket are to be found here-cDainty, dressy goods that are stylish in every respect. We respectfully ask
you to see them, whether you buy or not.
