Tlvwc who ^ recall the great size of the wholcr sale store built by that famous old Philadelphia . merchant, Morris L. Haltotyell, will understand J what an cnonnoits stock was to d be raoVed and provided for soroc- ° where, somehow. We brought If it here; but it crowds us so, that u there is nothing left, for us to do but break from our rule and make an extra and forced sale. In ttn years wc have never done I, such a thing but once — three years ago. J Our regular sales arc always large, but the present emergency , requires an extraordinary sale, as 1 we are utterly unable to proper ly , accommodate' so many goods j under our roof. Although we sold many of lite Kiegel good* in j the wholesale slock, so many t remain that with the subsequent I ! purchase x wc find it impossible I j to even store them well in thai! I portions of the new building now ' ' completed. r The best wav ouf of the difli- 1 ' culty 1s KJ" sell down . to mi - -. • the goods at such prices that you I , must take them in justice t-l' j yourselves. % l< I Wc shall therefore sell fionij . this wholesale stock and Irom [ our rptail stock at special, and in until we gain the desired space. C)n Monday morning. January 1 ' 3, 18S7, wc. shall be fairly ready ' 1 for the great sale, and will then I offer many of the greatest bar- 1 gains in staple and fancy dry 1 goods and other articles that we [ have ever shown. 1 It must not bc supposetl that I every thing, we have jn the store '• will come to the under price ;

the loss would then be too great. will be enough to set you to buying whether you want the goods or not, and enough" to * keep the sale going Jor many daysq as all the lots can't be put a on thc counters at one time. ■First— We shall close out what is left of Holiday goods. Dtasty goods from the displays. Handled and soiled bohks. The prices for these are merely nominal. — Second — The Remnant Counter is simply avalanchcd with the ends and leavings from the large sales of the past three weeks. Third— The Dress Patterns with garnitures, in boxes, arc at unexpected figures. Fourth — 12,000 Handkerchiefs, silk ana linen, at large dis- f Store-keepers, if they arc a quick, may get many good lots which will help them to -begin a happy New Year. We shall try to deliver everything on the day" of purchase, w but will not agree to do so except as especially arranged at the'timc of sale. tc During this sale where parties (cither individuals or clubs) in towns within one hundred miles make purchases to the amdhnt , of $200— excepting Furniture and heavy articles — we will prej pay express charges on the parl eels or boxes. „ • The -store is ready for business i j at 8 A. M. and will close at 6 P. f M. ' » > • — ■ .* J, ' Merchants are cordially invited <• !: to visit the wholesale quarters In « : the new portions of the building; j may be reached by the elevator } ; near the Thirteenth and Market [ - Street door. We want you to j sic what wc are about; we want i" to get acquainted for mutual ad- [ 1 vantage. We have a stock of 1 1 goods in many respects different j t from others. Most assuredly wc 1 ' get. our goods cheaply, and whq- - ever wants to set business going ° quickly shall have our best help. r - ' " " J This advertisement is sent to f the newspapers out of town one 'l day IN advance of city papers in order that parties at a distance c may have equally early notice [J of our doings. 0 John Wanamaker. caoaaut, Ttuneeau and Maitet-strsea j. a»d Ctij-hsli square,
