Quite a stir was caused in MEN’S TRADE during January by
some manufacturers announcing a reduction of prices in some
lines. The result was that the merchants became puzzled as to what
course they should pursue with stocks on hand which were bought
at high prices.
The reasons for this are now very plain. Some merchants
had been speculating, others were long on certain lines which
they wished to turn into cash. W ith very few exceptions the mar
ket on woolen and cotton goods continues very firm.
One of the above exceptions is Denim, which is used in the
manufacture of OVERALLS, and we are glad to announce the
following changes in our Overall prices:
Fink’s Tan Jumper, $3.00; new price . $2.25
Fink’s Best Blue Jumper, $3.00; new price .. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Bib Overall, $3.00; new price. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Waist Overall, $2.25; new price. 2.00
Everwear Blue Bib Overall, special ... 2.00
We also have a few EXTRA SPECIALS which are well I
worth your inspection.
One lot of Gray Wool Sox, 7 5c; new price, 50c.
Two odd lines of Stanfield Underwear, that sold for $3.50
and $4.00; now $2.75.
One line of $10.00 Stag Shirts, heavy, all wool, double shoul
ders and back, while they last, $7.50.
