Owing to the general depression in trade and large deliveries of goods just to hand, all Departments art: considerably overstocked. William Rattray has the efore determined to begin his Grand Summer Sale on Wednesday, sth January. The Reductions in Prices will not be confined simply to certain lines and departments, but will be applied to THE ENTIRE STOCK I And will be on a scale of liberality such as will mark this as the SALE OF THE SEASON. As it would take at least a week to mark clown the entire stock, William Rattray has decided to allow 20 per Cent. Discount, or 4s. in the Pound Off his present very moderate prices. Those who have not yet made their Summer Purchases of Costumes, Millinery, ' Mantles, &c, now have the opportunity of doing so at 20 per Cent. Discount off Wholesale Prices. Ladies who find their stock of Hosiery, Handkerchiefs, Underclothing, etc., rather low can now supply their deficiencies and save 4s. in the Pound off Wholesale Prices. Housekeepers wishing to replenish their Linen Cupboards, can now do so at 20 per Cent. Discount off Wholesale Prices. Economists of all classes now have an opportunity which rarely occurs of buying new and carefully selected Drapery Goods of every description, and effecting a saving of 4s. in the Pound off Wholesale Prices AT William Raitray's Summer Clearance Sale. ST.B. — The only goods not subject to discount are Josephine Kid Gloves, which -^v-iszii * are already sold at cost price. ■ ' .... ,
