An extensive promotional notice proclaims the largest cash-only sale in clothing, drapery, boots, and shoes. It promises two weeks of guaranteed lines, carriage-paid country orders, and emphasizes genuineness of sale and low prices to attract customers. It lists a wide range of garments and accessories for men, women, and children with emphasis on cash transactions.
