ing country. The building we occupy has been rented in connection with the one ad joining, lor a fur-
niture store; therefore we are compelled to close out this stock. Our stay here, though rather short,
has been both pleasant and profitable to us, and we trust that you fed the same way, because we know
that ever since we began business in Denison it has been our constant aim and endeavor to give you
good, reliable, seasonable merchandise at the lowest possible prices. We must dose out this stack at
once. Everything must be sold. Cost, or former value is not to be considered. The goods must go.
It is up to you. Take advantage of these matchless offerings. The sale won’t last long. There is not
time for it. Comer'early, stay late. Let nothing keep you away. Look for the blue mark of destruction
on all goods. One price to all. Everything marked in plain figures. This is to be a Seven Days’ Sale.
Seven days of the hottest bargain-giving this old town has ever witnessed.
Saturday, May 20th,
't begins and continues until the dosing hour of May J7th. We are on the last days of our work. They
are fast drawing to a dote. Seven days of selling and this sale passes into history as the greatest mer-
chandise event that ever occured in Denison. It is a wonderful work, and we want these last few
days to be record breakers. A genuine upheaval at last. You have seen sales, you have heard of sales,
but nothing has ever happened in the State of Texas equal to what will occur when this stock of The
Texas Dry Goods Co. is thrown out to the public. The very walls of the city will shake from center to
circumference. We don’t want to move the goods. It is to be a dosing out sale, one of the greatest
sales you ever attended. We shall outdo the wonders of modern times in the low selling of merchandise.
The goods must go out to the people in the neat seven days. We'll pour hot shot and shell into them
at a fearful rate. The sale opens Saturday, May 20th, and doses in the midnight hour of Saturday, May
27th. We do not sell some goods put out as leaders one hour a day ; we sell them every minute, every
hour and every day for fifteen days, and we have the goods to sell. Don’t overlook this opportunity to
save at least one-half you will be obliged to pay elsewhere for high grade ladies’ and misses’ ready-to-
wear goods, including skirts, waists, kimonas, underwear, bonnets, aprons, millinery, hosiery, handker-
chiefs, belts, neckwear, etc. This will be a sale without a parallel, a tremendous stock, merged ioto one
grand offering and all going for less than actual cost of the raw material. The opening wQ] be a gala day.
Bring the children. Never again will you have the opportunity ol dressing in such fine raiment at so
trifling a cost. This is to be the greatest merchandise battle every fought in Texas. The battle grounds
will be in Denison. The whole store will teem with bargains. Competition will be setting up nights,
putting cold, wet cloths on their heads and feet when they see such prices at these :
