Lower prices sweep the popular Boston store as remnants and imported fabrics are cut to fractions of a dollar. Satines, organdees, seersuckers, laces, and lawns sell from 0c to 25c, with many yardage remnants and fine goods marked down significantly.
We must move and must sell all furnishing goods at drastic discounts. Latins, chambrays, lace caps, lace collars, Lisle vests, silk caps for children, undershirts, and various shoes and slippers are heavily reduced. Highlights include lace and chambray fabrics cut to 10c to 6c, sick lisle vests to 50c, and shoes from 1.69 to 1.50 for select styles.
A fragmentary tale describes Edison and a shop, a mechanical inventor under pressure, and a chaotic scene of early innovations. The prose mixes dialogue about electricity and playwriting, with a New York Herald tone on modern work life and relentless rush in the city.
Fragments recount a bizarre scene where a porcupine and George trigger a chaotic night with wolves at a camp. The story blends farce and danger as the animals swarm, quills injure, and the pair improvise a risky escape, ending with shouted antics and a gun rescue.
A dense clippings fragment describes auctions and notices including sales at a Wichita area store with varied items. It mentions public notices, travel ads, and local business details, reflecting a bustling late 19th or early 20th century commercial page with catalogued goods and sale terms.
