our customers caused by the immense crowds attending our
sale of tire damaged goods. We hope from this date to be
able to give better attention and service.
We Have Still a Very Large Quantity
of Damaged Goods to Place on Sale
These will be brought fprward as rapidly as possible and
sold at extraordinary reductions.
While a considerable portion of our stock suffered actual
fire damage, much _of it is damaged only by smoke; and
though to all practical purposes unhurt, must be cleared out
at great price concessions.
Terms positively Cash-no"parcels laid aside--no goods
exchanged. Parcels delivered promptly as possible.
