To the People of Athens and adjoining Counties the merchants announce thirty five years of friendship and a Gala Day Sales during December offering all stock regardless of cost. They note unusually large trade up to December first and will dispose of their winter stock.
The notice urges readers to buy out heavy woolen goods including wraps for ladies misses and children now to avoid packing them away and to help the seller carry a new stock next autumn, promising financial benefit only if bargains tempt customers to aid the closing out effort.
Linen table cloths sold at 18 cents per yard with napkins to match, a line advertised as extra low. A fine linen towel offered at 15 cents, undercutting other stores at 25 cents.
