OVERSTOCKED
I
To the Public:—
We have just finished stock tak
ing, and find that we are heavily
overstocked so are making enorm
ous reductions in Hardware—as
much as 60% in certain lines. Not
withstanding immense advances out
• side, especially in Hardware and
Metal Goods, we are still selling on
the basis of goods purchased me
past two or three years.
We will sell for cash only at these
prices, and for a limited time, until
we bring our stock down to the re'
qulrements of the Camp.
If you have an order to be filled,
let us figure on It; we can save you
money. We have proved It oo

roads. Formal announcement of
the ballot will be made tomorrow.
Unless the railroads cede the eight
hour day and time and a half for

far-reaching strike in the nation’s
history is likely.
