Hence I am going to have a sale of my large stock of Hair goods at prices that will never be of- fered again in Seattle or in fact America, for the reason that the duty imposed on hair by the new tariff law will cause the price to be increased at least 50 per cent. I bought my stock right and will give the consumer the benefit of my good buy; will close my store Monday, Jan. 26th, to prepare for the sale that opens Jan. 27th. I will give you credit and make it easy for you to outfit yourself in anything you may need in hair goods. Sale starts Saturday. ZAMORA.C.
