$6.000.00 Worth iof Dry Goods at 60c on the Dollar Part of the Stock of J. J. Van Hulen of Centralia, Wash. Bought by the Bon Marche E bought these goods at public auction because they were excellent valués cause the prices were extremely low—and because we knew that you would welcome the opportunity to buy them at 60c on the dollar—less than that in some cases J. J. Van Hulen kept good goods at his store in Centralia—a little better, perhaps, than conditions warranted—that is why he brought them to Seattle to dispose of at about half what he paid for them Thesé goods will all be out on special tables in the different departments on Thurs day morning marked at prices that will sell them quickly, for we do not intend to mix these goods with our regular stocks. Please note that while the bargains are big, some of the quantities are rather small —and once sold cannot be replaced at anything like these prices. J. J.
