day to day until All Lots aro Closed Somo of our Morcliants are angry at their own patrons who seemingly had deserted them by continuing to make their
purchases at the Big Fire Stile notwithstanding tho fact that they were advised not to buy firo goods that such goods woro unclean shoddy aud even diB
honest begging them to come to tho emptiest store on Houstons most crowded streets where at all times thoy could secure honest goods at One Hundred
Cents on tho Dollar and Avoid tho Rush of a Fire Sale meanwhile other Merchants apparently disgusted with themsolves concluded they would Go Out
of Business Not liko others who at one timo mado similar announcement and afterward Changed Their Minds but in a brand now Btylo they would Go
Out long enough to Change Their Skin and mako one more attempt under a now veil thinking a change of colors appropriate aud in keeping with the
warm season perhaps imagining the Firo Salo at au end but Dont You Believe It it has barely begun
We have yet large lots of Summer Goods to close out after which wo will continuo tho salo with Winter Goods Our purchases were so largo that they
were not confined to Summer Goods Wo bought Wool Dress Goods Flannels Blankets and Comforts as well but wo are in no hurry to press tho
jjy season Therefore we continuo to give tho people what they want Our customers are aware of tho fact that most of tho badly damaged goods havo been
sold out We them forward because knew wet and needed tho wash tub Now wo most of which
pushed simply wo they were are offering goods aro perfect-
as they were in that part of the Ely Walker Building which the firo did not reach
