Mill's Clearance Sales 

Take  Early  Advantage  of  This 
Bargain Occasion 
Scores  of  remarkable  values  are  passed 
along  to you.  Seed-time  and harvest  under 
conditions  of  peaceful  developments  will be 
necessary  before  even  an  attempt  can be 
made  to  re'construct  the  prices  of  average 
merchandise;  so  any  great  drop  in prices for 
next  season  is out of the question.  T he sale 
prices  we  quote  therefore  are  subsequently 
less  than  their  real  worth—in  many  cases— 
we  would  be  obliged  to  pay  more.  Our 
regular  stock  is  sold  down  to  odd  lots and 
odd  sizes,  remnant  lengths  and  some  small 
assortments.  These  we  offer  at  Clearance 
Prices. 

Our  Entire Stock of Carpets 
Rugs  and  linoleums  will  be  sacrificed by 
the  big cuts  to  close  out.  We are clearing 
out  the floor  covering  department  which  is to 
be  replaced  by  an  up'tO'date  woman's de-
partment,  with  corsets,  muslin  underwear, 
babies'  and children's  garments,  beauty  shop
