If it's correct it's at Morse's. If it's at Morse's it's correct. Full many an arrow at random sent Hits off a mark that ne'er was meant. It was never intended that $7.50 should buy one of these $10 Suits or Overcoats. We made them up to sell for $10. We put them on our counters at $10 because we honestly believed them to be worth $10. And we did sell most of them for $10. But because our Spring goods are beginning to crowd us we're forced to do some thing with the rest of them in order to gain the space they occupy. Therefore- $7.50 buys one of these $10 Suits or Overcoats. Open Saturday Until 10 P. M
