Three Dollars Off.
Three dollars off is a big reduction on Fall Overcoats, bnt we are doing even better than that in some lines. J. Ward Walker & Co., are here for business and can't afford to carry over any fall goods. A fine line of all kinds of clothing at lowest prices.

Our judgment is that Scott & Co. are selling goods for less money than any body in the country. That the people who patronize this Cheap Cash Store are actually saving money. If you will listen we will quote some prices that will convince you.
They are selling a fine unbleached muslin for 5 cts. The price is 7 cts. at every other store.
They offer 30 bolts of heavy muslin worth 8K for only 6 cts. They sell first-class calicos at 4}4 to 5 cts.
Mens fine congress shoes, all solid, for 09 cents. Others charge $1.50 to $3. They sell well made grain shoes for women solid for 93 cents.
Womens heavy oil grain shoes for $1.15 worth $1.65. Childrens grain shoe for 67 cents.
Mens Hartford Boots for $1 less than others ask. They save you 5 cents on snag proof rubber boots.
Their prices on carpets are away down, in fact they save their customers 10 cents to 20 cents on the dollar on dress goods, Ladies wraps clothing, boots, shoes, hats, caps, notions, underwear, etc. Their prices are now reduced to all alike. They have but one price. Your child can buy as chcap as yourself. We have saved money by buying of this firm and wish our friends to know it.
