BY THE GREAT HORN SPOON
x»uy my neavy sona silver sou
venir spoons for $1.25, worth $3.
Buy my little souvenir spoons
for 50c, worth $1.50—solid sil
ver, too.
Buy all you need and then soine
and lay aside for next Xmas and
make the customary $4.00 present
at an expense of about a dollar.
Buy all there is in this store;
you'll be a seven-time winner if
you purchase during my sacri
fice sale.
There are watches and there
are watches, but these are watch
es that I quote below. Don't
think of these as cheap. Consid
er them as sacrificed and get their
true worth well in mind:
A seven-jewel Elgin in gold
filled case for $5. It's cheaper
•than you can get your watch re
paired if there's much wrong with
it.
A 15-jewel Hampton in a screw
bezel case for $7.
A seven-jewel Waltliam in dust
proof case for $ i. You would pay
$20 for this in any country, and
it is in proportion to all my bar
gains.
A 21-jewel adjusted Duber^
Hampton in a dust proof case
with gold reflector for—guess.
No, not $45; $17, just think of it!
A 17-jewel Hamilton in screw
bezel 20 year case; fancy dial gold
letters, $12.
Ladies solid silver open-faced
for $3.50. A good time keeper
and pretty.
' Ladies smallest full-jewel sol
id gold watch, $10.
Ladies small size closed face,
gold filled, seven-jeweled watch,
$6.
I have about 20 pieces of cut
glass. Many .solid sterling arti
cles. Brushes, jewel boxes, hat
pins, silverware, mineral glasses,
compasses, postals, hand painted
china, neck chains, cufT buttons
and a thousand articles that go
to make up this slock. A violin
with case $10. A mandolin case
for 50c. All musical instruments
and strings three, for one.
I have another jag of nugget
work and old ivory. If you want
any of this call early, as there
have been many persons asking
and we did not have any. Every
day we dig up more stock. Mr.
Swan is now at work in the back
room ami by tonight we should
have everything in place.
I leave you on this boat to
spend a week at Seward and Mr.
Swan will continue the work of
invoicing and will sell you at my
prices until I return.
Every few minutes today some
one—and sometimes several per
sons at a time— made purchases
and received a free ticket to the
vaudeville at the Orpheum to
night; also made a guess as to
the number who would attend.
There is no charge for guessing.
There will be but one show, as
there arc I'm; «*xlia numbers, so
as to allow parlies to go to both
the show awl dance.
All purchasers of tickets will
receive a spoon and every tenth
number a set of spoons.
All purchasers at my store will
get a ticket free and all may reg
ister a guess on tonight's attend
ance, the prize being a large oil
painting.
Good-bye, folks. I've had lots
of fun but I'm all tired out.

Now is
The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
crbates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.
