A full force of carpenters and mechanics started to work to enlarge our basement, also to convert our entire second floor into an immense salesroom and to modernize our two frontages and otherwise beautify the store generally. Our business has grown to such an extent that we are compelled to use every bit of available space. Wohile this remodeling is going on there will be an abundance of noisy confusion while the men are at work, and during this period our store will not be the most comfortable place to make purchases, but you can count on this: Whether you are in need of a suit, an overcoat, a pair of pants, a hat, a shirt, a necktie, a suit of underwear, or anything in men'’s or boys’ wearing apparel except shoes, you can get just what you want here for far less money than in any other place in San Francisco. Just note below the big reductions. Remember you are getting 1900 goods—stylish, fashionabl: and up-to-date goods at actual reductions. Other than the noise you will find no inconvenience when making purchases on the ground fioor. Wiile you sacrifice a little comfort, the prices will atone for every inconvenience. The sale starts at eight o’clock this morning. We suggest that you call early in order to avoid the overcrowding of the store in the afternoon. Every department has reductions. Though we might not mention below what you want, remember you can get it at a saving price.
