B. Claflin Compmy,whichnhrdedthabmwodda few short weeks ago, and which culminated in Receivers being appointed to conserve the in- terests of the creditors, is known to every per- son in the country who reads the daily papers. The Receivers’ Sale, which began last Mon- dly,wuoneoft?temulhtlntwnboundto come, as the night is sure to follow the day, because following the financial difficulties of the Claflin stores, every merchant in the coun- try immediately curtailed his buying, and in consequence the great H. B. Claflin Co. found its business to be almost at a standstill—the result was the Receivers’ Sale. We are particularly well organized to take advantage of such conditions as this, in the interests of our patrons. Our New York office was in a position to give as early information of the proposed Receivers’ Sale, and our buy- ers were on hand when the sale opened on Monday morning, and were therefore able to make selections from complete stocks and secure the choicest offerings. It is unfortunate that such business up- heavals as the Claflin assignment must occas- ionally occur, but when they do happen we believe that we owe it to our patrons to offer themalltheadvml%guwhichauleofthe magnitude of the H. B. Glaflin Co.’s stocks presents. Our purchases of the Claflin stock have all been delivered and are now on sale. If you are amongst the number that have not yet at- tended this sale, don’t fail to come this week. It is an occasion of rare economy which no person with merchandise needs can afford to ignore. Come this week and profit by the economiiss which the sale of the H. B. Claflin Co.’s stocks affords and the many other- money-saving op- portunities which this store is offering at this < ~ time.
