STAR—MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1915. PAGE 7, Wanted--Three Thousand Cinderellas E HAVE three thousand pairs of kid gloves in the Martin bankrupt stock that will fit only women with small hands, and we have almost the same number of stockings that will fit only small feet. So this is an invitation to Seattle ‘“‘Cinderellas” to come and get gloves and stockings at a price that al- most makes this a “shower.” Three thousand pairs of misses’ and women’s kid gloves, Fownes’, Dent’s, Vallyer’s and other famous makes. The finest styles and the most wanted colors. Sizes from four and one-half to six. There are a few that Martin’s sold for $1.00 a pair. There are hundreds that Martin’s sold for $1.50 a pair. And there are hundreds more, that Martin’s sold for $2.00 a pair. But because they will only fit small hands, we have made the price Seventy- five Cents a pair! N THE Hosiery Section we have taken all the 35-cent and 50-cent stockings that will fit only small feet and made them 15 cents a pair. There are broken sizes in black and white and all sizes in tan with silk boot. Eighty-five per cent are 50c stockings. All are 15 cents a pair. Women’s “Gordon” Silk Stockings in delicate shades for finest wear, that were $1.50; and black silk. stockings with silk embroidered insteps that were $2.50, we are selling all at one price— Seventy-five cents a pair! And the balance of the stocks are cut a fourth to a half. PSTAIRS you will find the umbrellas at very nearly half price. Some less. Men's umbrellas up to $15.00, we have made in one lot at $5.00. All the $5.00 umbrellas for men and women, we are selling at $2.85. All the dollar umbrellas for women at 55c. There are plenty of fixtures, mirrors, show cases still for sale. We are willing to listen to any reasonable offer. We have twenty-five stools and chairs—the chairs are in white enamel with metal bases. They will look fine in any high-class store. We will make a price on them far less than the actual worth; and the stools, with their metal bases, that cost Martin Two Dollars and a Half apiece, we will sell for 50c. This ought to show that our heart's in the right place. Also it will show that it’s time for everybody who wants gloves, stockings and umbrellas—to hurry! All men’s gloves, stockings and silk hose at %% price.

Great plantations which represented years of labor are still lying idle—all because of your self tshness and hurry in endeavoring to create a sugar industry too quickly “if you had been content with limiting your Imports of sugar to their former figures and had even created legislation so that the in creased consumption would have gone to your own planters, we would not have complained. But you not only demanded the benefit of your increased growth, but also stole from us by very unjust means the industry which we had 10 industriously developed to meet your wants and at your own ur mency.” BOALT MEETS EXPRESSMAN OF THE SEAS, JUST IN FROM BORNEOAND ALL WAY POINTS By Fred L.
