SALES Fthna far this year have been much we anticipated. The peo- all know that we keep the LARGEST, the BEST and tho MOST STOCK Of CLOTHING in Wayne. The secret of our BUC- ia simply this: Oar prices are so as to absolutely demolish corn- ton. No house in Fort Wayne or i in the great North West displays goods in our line at prices as low i mark the same goods'. aks of "Mark Down," "Great ghter Sale," are heard in DOS quarters every week, year in out.

But the shallowness and ery of such cries are fully nnder- by the people of Fort Wayne advertise only facts, and we untee bargains in every depart- it. We manufacture our own and, therefore, have great Jtage over those who buy from era. liny claim to make their own Cloth- ffjwhile there is no truth in such louts. We give number and We make our Clothing at ad 11 John Street, Utica, N. Y.
