REMNANT SALE
Clean Sweep of All Previous Prices to
Sweep out all Oddments and Remnants.
More shops have been ruined by keeping srock than by
competltlon.
To keep goods on the shelves and to estimate them at
tbe1r or1g1Dal worl1h, 18 absurd.
The value of a .tock depends upon what the people will give
for 1t, and McIlroy. prefer to clear out all odd lots and rem.
nants - whiile they ARE fashionable and m demand- at absurdly low prlCes, than to keep them on the shelves where they
sooner or later become rejected at any pnce. All the remnants
and oddments In this great clearance are comP!U'8tively new;
thousa.nds of their brothers and sIsters were sold during the
Summer Sale-at prices wh1ch were absurdly low, but wh1ch can
hardly be compared to-day to the pre.ent remnant sale pnces.
