THE BIG STORE

Trouble! Trouble! Trouble!

We are in trouble and we need your help. Listen while we relate our woes. Last May we decided to build an addition of 3,360 foot floor space on the top of our store, but that has been denied us by the city council, as the following clipping from the daily papers' report of their last meeting will show:

"Mr Louis Bischof asked a permit to build a second story on the rear addition of his business block, the skeleton of said building to be" of wood, and this to be covered with iron but this was not in accordance with the requirements of the ordinance governing the construction of buildings within the fire limits and the permit wab not granted."

Our present walls are too light to support a second story brick wall or an iron wall complying with the ordinance referred to and we have been compelled to abandon the project. However, believing we would have this extra room, we bought many more goods than the capacity of our present room will permit us to handle successfully and pleasantly and we are compelled to reduce our stock $20,000 within the next thirty days. These goods were all bought before the recent decided advances on all lines of staple and fancy goods, for spot cash, and if we could carry them we would realize fully 20 per cent, more than if we bought them at present prices. But we haven't the room and we bow to the inevitable and give our profits to our customers. Below are a few of the many bargains we offer. We have hundreds more, but we haven't the time to list them, but it will pay you to come and see us for any dry goods or notions.
