This Closing-out Sale is, and will be to the end, a succession of unprecedented bargains. Every turn of the wheel of time brings into view some fresh condition of reduction that surpasses in im- portance anything that has preceded it. FOR TOMORROW WE HAVE ARRANGED FOR AN ASSAULT UPON THE FANCY DRESS ‘GOODS THAT WILL MOVE THOUSANDS OF * YARDS FROM THEIR PLACES ON OUR COUNTERS INTO YOUR POSSESSION AT PRICES THAT ARE GREATLY BELOW COST! So important an offering is it that we shall endeavor to center your attention upon it. It is to be the whole subject of our talk tonight. We shall ask you to bear in mind that no Dress Goods like ours have been shown anywhere else in Washington. We shall ask you to bear in mind that our selections of patterns have always been regarded as the best—in the best taste—of the best fashion— as strictly exclusive. All these virtues must be considered now in measuring the merits of the special selling we shall do.
