This has been a prosperous year throughout the country, and while our big department store has been far more successful than even we had dared hope, and while we have far out-stripped our competitors and set them a pace ih low prices and business that they can only imitate, yet to round out the year’s business, and to make it the most astounding success, we have trimmed prices in every department, and below give a few samples of what real discounts are

CLOTHING. Off I - Off PO YOU see the gentle form-fit-ting curves in the suit cut shown here ? Our college styles are the kind that hit the fancies of the young men. The models and fabrics are not what are called loud and flashy, but instead are distinctive, because of the originality expressed in the cut, style and fabric always so exclusive in the good old “Hart, Schaffner & Marx” line of clothing. With our immense stock of “stouts” and “slims” we can fit not only the young men but the old men as well. And it matters not whether you are tall and slim or low and heavy, we can fit you in a suit that will wear, at prices chopped nearly in two. We were already far below exclusive stores, and now, with our big liberal discounts, we are far below the reach of those that even have much inferior fabrics

All marked with the old prices, in plain figures, and now subject to the big discount cutting. ’ Hi Hll In our line of overcoats for “Little Gentlemen” we have the latest. We early recognized that, so long as it cost nothing extra, style, even in a II 91 boys’ overcoat, is demanded. We therefore stocked this fall with some of the swellest blacks, brown and gray mixes ever brought to the city. They, ijFH | too, have suffered by the blue pencil, and are going in this Christmas sale on the big discounts. ...........

RUGS AND CARPETS The rug and carpet season is welt over, and in many stores there is little or nothing left from which to make selections. But not so here. We have just recently received some of the newest and prettiest designs in all-wool Ingrain Carpets. Our 9x12 Brussel Rugs have also been lately with some dainty new patterns, thus making a stock as varied and complete as if it were in the beat of the seasou. We have always had the reputation of being at the bottom ou prices, and to now consider our 10 per cent Christmas sale reduction makes it worth your while to think on this subject.

-—-Women's and Children’s Coats At Quick Selling Discount. We won’t carry any coats over. Rather cut prices. Odd lots, broken sizes, and several complete lines, all marked at heavy reductions. THEY HUST GO. Loose and semi-fitting are included in all the desired plain colors and black, in broadcloths and kerseys; also handsome mixtures in tweeds. Some full satin-lined beauties still in stock to suffer the great reductions with the others. Many of these coats — and they still retain their splendid worth in quality and style—are reduced below cost. But they must go!

Here are to be found all styles, from the short jaunty collar to the popular long fur, at prioes FROM 50c TO 915.00. THEN 10 PER CENT OFF.

We have allowed the discounts to creep in to this department, and you can save money here as well as everywhere else in our store

LADIES’ FINERY As the Christmas season approaches we know the ladies grow more fastidious regarding the minor articles of dress for the holiday occasions. We have therefore been exceedingly careful that only the daintiest and most fashionable articles of this kind find place in our great store. Only the very latest creations of Belts, Collars, Hand-bags, Kerchiefs, Scarfs, Gloves and all other similar articles have been allowed to corne in.

CHRISTMAS In Men’s Haberdashery. before in the his- ___ tory of Rensselaer stores was there such a showing of MEN’S FANCY GOODS. Fine Neckwear, New Style Collars, Beautiful Catchy Designs in Ties, Swell Mufflers, Natty Gloves, varieties in Suspenders, Fine Hose and Hose Supporters. Everything in Men’s notion wear abound here in the very latest and newest patterns. Here you can find just what you want for “him” for a useful and Appropriate Christmas Prnsent

SILK AND DCTTIPfIRTC TWO GREAT HEATHERBLOOM Tll lIUU AIO —SPECIALS! Petticoats of black and colored taffeta silk, with Van Dyke plaited flounce, edged with tucked sectional ruffle, silk underlay, and dust ruffle. Regular price $5.00. Then 10 per cent off. Petticoats of black heatherbloom—the new skirt material so popular now-a-days, having the swish and,rustle of silk, and costing less and wearing equally as well—made with corded and ruffle flounces, underlay and dust ruffle .... . . . REGULAR PRICE 92, 92.50 and 93. Then 10 per oent off.

BLANKETS-BLANKETS Our blanket stock is very heavy. Otherwise it would seem peculiar to talk discou iA with cotton and wool fabrics rising. Bought early before the raise in these fabrics, our regular price is no more than most merchants paid for them later in the season. Figure off the 10 per cent sale discount and you can readily see that you are buying at wholesale. Not only from our mammoth stock of varied and tine colored cotton blankets do we deduct 10 per cent, but from our elegant line of Columbia wool blankets also. We have them in cotton from -isc to $2.00 per pair. In wool from $2.50 to *7.00 per pair. Then figure off 10 per cent. Everyone should have a blanket.

...OVERCOATS Off IQ"-.to20--'OK WINTER has been a long time getting under way, and the absence of really cold weather has caused many men to delay the buying of their Winter Overcoat. So at present we have more overcoats in stock than we ought to have at this time of the year. While there are months of cold, snappy weather yet to come, in which you’ll need an overcoat, yet we can’t afford to take chances of being left with a single garment, and so we have slaughtered the prices 10 per cent, and 20 per cent, on our entire showing of stylish overcoats, to assure a quick clean-up of our stock. Top coats, cravinettes, heavy ulsters, fur coats, in fact everything in the overcoat line suffers alike in price-cutting

-—-Ladies’ Skirt Clearance--20 per cent Off 20 per cent Off Scarcely a color, weave or material specially sought after this season but what is found in our great collection. And with over 200 skirts now in stock, hardly a fad of a style but what is also to be found here for both the miss and the woman. Our regular prices run from $1.25 to SIO.OO. Take away 20 per cent —just 1-5 —and you have your cost, not ours, for on most of this elegant line 20 per cent places it even below our cost. But they, iike the ladies’ and children’s coats, must go now in season. Our loss is your gain, but comfe and get one while they last.
