An Explicit Explanation Seeing the town aflame with red, and every draper (like . the frog who tried to blow himself out to the size of a bull) trying to outblow his brother draper over their wonderful clearing sales, many of our customers have been enquiring when we intend holding our sale, and why, under the circumstances, we are content to remain quiet, and make no sign P We beg to inform them that we shall hold our sale at the usual time, early in August, immediately after stocktaking, when to everything we desire to clear, the sacrificial knife will be applied with ■ vigour, and will cut very.deep. We have no inclination or desire to emulate the usual system of what is termed working up the agony by the aid of mythical purchases of gigantic, antique, and fossil stocks at fabulously l®w prices, supposititious fires, shipwrecks, trumpery alterations, or any paltry reason to serve as a peg to hang the usual chronic . eruption of a socalled cheap clearing sale on, sales that renew themselves regularly every month or two, rearing aloft in such stupendous and luxuriant growth, and on such slender foundations that makes the average beholder dizzy to contemplate them. Even firms of repute, fearing amidst the din and dust of the petty warfare raging, to be overlooked or left out in the cold, lose their heads, and in their desire to emulate give untimely birth to their usual semi-annnal eruption of white-wash, papex’hanging, and.. red agony. Our Goods are all fresh and sound, and our ordinary prices will favourably compare with the best of the so-called cheap sales. Tto.oro.son. «Ss THE EX HI BITION. TEEMS - NET PROMPT CAS 11.
