Reducing an Overstock of Dining Chairs. —Time has come for making a great exodus of this stock. All the Chairs advertised are in lots from 3 dozen to 12 dozen of a pattern. Too many. The prices have been right—they’ve been low, but the Chairs haven't sold as they should. —They will now. We've made more astonishing cuts—cuts that'll put fine (we mean fine) Chairs in your way for less than you'd pay for a cheap variety. $4 Quartered Oak Dining Chairs, extra large shaped box frame seat, a carved Freneb legs, banister back... $2.45 $3.75 -Chippendale Chairs, in quartered onk, with wide box frame, banister back $3.25 Quartered with banister back, Oal Chairs, French legs and swelled shaped seat, carved. . $3.

Friday’s Our Remnant Day, Our Special Bargain Day. The plans of this store are the result of most careful thought and deliberation. .A fixed purpose, closely followed, strictly adhered to, per- vades every department. This purpose is to offer five days uf each week complete assortments of fresh, bright, up-to-date merchandise at the low- est prices, reserving one day, Friday, for the clearance of remnants— broken lines and sizes, odds and ends, short lengths, left overs. And these “left overs” are ofttimes from the choicest goods of the various lines —the quickest sellers. It isn’t the goodness of the article, however, but. its poorness as merchandise (because of littleness or loneliness), that reg-_ ulates the price. Shorter the length, smaller the quantity--greater the price reduction. Remnants accumulate very rapidly, and we cannot push them aside or pile them up. Hence to make the quickest possible clear- ance prices are made half and less. Many rare bargains for tomorrow. Friday’s Special Bargain in Untrimmed Hats.

The bill provides that no person or body cor- porate shall be permitted, directly or ind!- reotly, by agent or otherwise, to use any stamp or ticket commonly called “trading stamps,” or to use any other scheme or de- vice in the sale, barter or trade of any Wares, goods or merchandise, holding out as an inducement for any such sale, barter or trade. . The giving or issuance of a stamp or ticket, which stamp or ticket is to be, or may be, presented to, or redeemed by some other person or body other than the persona or body corporate making the 1 goods wares, a len.
