Sig We shall open up Friday morning with the largest and most interesting Remnant offering of the present season. Needing more room in all departments for the proper display of our magnificent stock of ‘Holiday’ goods, which already surpasse: ‘$ anything heretofore shown in Washington, we have thoroughly ransacked the several stocks and separated therefrom everything that savors of a remnant—all “short lengths,” “‘extreme—very large or very small sizes,"’ “odds and ends,”” ‘broken assortments,’ “soiled or mussed things,"’ Bric-a-brac, Glass Ware and anything thut is chipped, scratched or otherwise defaced. These things have been marked lower than ever before—at prices that should sell every one by closing hour Friday. Many an odd bit of Silk, Ribbon atid Velvet will be found that can be made use of for Christmas Black and Colored Dress Goods offer many desirable lengths of this season's stuffs at never-so-low prices. Many odd pieces in China, Bric-a-brac and Japanese Departments. Picture and Wrap—indeed, every department in the house presents op- portunities to economical folks heretofore unheard of.
