But the weather and general conditions have been against us, making it impossible for many to attend the sale. And with $45,000 Worth of Merchandise and Fixtures still on our hands makes it impossible for us to close. Besides, to pack our merchan- dise and store it means depreciation and loss. To pull our fixtures down and throw them in some loft makes them only fit for a bonfire. John Davis & Company owners of this building, have the store to let, but have given us the privilege of staying here until rented, and will even then give us ample time to move. Consequently the Sale Continues Until Everything Is Sold Further great price reductions are now in effect, as you will readily see by reading’ every item advertised below.
