Time is The Goods We Close Out At Half Prices
Time is the goods we are closing out at half prices and less are not new. Some are a bit out of style, some are right in style. Each article is reliable and worth about twice what we ask. We shall have brighter stock after March 1st, but prices will be about double for older stock. Buy clothing, shoes, dress goods now on account of the low prices. The fact they’ve been in this store a year doesn’t hurt them. All
