The unseasonable warm weather has left a few more Overcoats on our hands than we desire to carry over into the new year, and in order to sell them right now, we have cut the prices all to pieces. Commencing to-morrow we will offer our very finest Overcoats at prices heretofore asked for medium qualities. The biggest cut we will make onour fur and plush trimmed goods. There are not many of them, but we have a few very fine garments trimmed with good fur and silk plush. We want to make a sweep with these goods and close them out before we take stock. We invite those who have so far managed to get along with their old or light weight Overcoats, and whom the open winter has kept back from buying a heavy one, to inspect these garments. They will be surprised to see how little money it takes now to procure such an elegant Overcoat. Thisis really a grand opportunity and the last chance this season. . In Men’s Dress and Business Suits we have a beautiful stock--the largest in the city--and our prices are known tobe by far the cheapest. Many fine suits have been marked away down inorder to reduce stock and we will save you tully 25 per cent--if not more--on every suit, The big trade we have had in Boys’ Overcoats last week has broken up the sizes of several lotts, but we still have a fair assortment. The prices are such that we expect them to be cleaned out soon. .. Our Hat Department is known to offer better hats for less money than any regular hat house in the city. The fine Fur Derby’s which we are selling for one dollar have made a name for us. No other house sells a hat of equal quality for less than $2 or $2.50. We have received several new styes for the holidays. Our finest hats at $2.50, $3 and $3.25 cannot be bought at any other house for less than $3.50, $4 and $5. We offer in this department a splendid line of Fur Caps at just one-half their regular retail prices. - .. The beautiful and artistic display ot Men’s Furnishings in our large windows will give an idea of the variety of goods we have and the prices we ask. We invite those who are puzzled with the all-aborbing question, *"What to give.” to look at our window and they will see what we can offer in the way of presents for gentlemen, Sensible and thoughtful men prefer and enjoy substantial Christmas gifts of this nature. Thereis a satisfaction in giving or receiving a present that one can be seen wearing, a gitt that combines utility and beauty, and nowhere else can you get such goods so cheap. Our popular system of selling goods at the lowest prices will be continued during the holiday season. e have no fancy prices and those who purchase of us can save enough on each purchase to buy a nice presen t for themselves. Beginnino Monday we will present visitors at our store with a beautiful holiday souvenir, copies of which are displayed in our windows. All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price.
