Qw@, It will last but one week and its sole purpose will be a record-breaking windup of an eventful anq highly prosperous year for Pragers. Prices have been slashed fo ridiculous figures so as'fo insure 2 swift sales and many of them for the last week of 1905. This is not a “clearance sale,” nor an “Inventory Sale,” in the general acceptance \ of these terms, but a genuine, honest endeavor to give values such as the shopping public of San Francisco has never been offered before —a great ambition, but one that Pragers will leave no stone unturned to accomplish.
