FIRE CLOTHING From the Late Fire Of Stern, Meyer Co. of Cincinnati, wholesale clothiers. We have just secured through insurance companies over thirty thousand dollars' worth of this clothing if estimated at the wholesale cost price, and the value in its present condition is fully ten thousand dollars. The stock consists of 1,000 mens suits 400 boy's suits, 500 men's overcoats 600 pair of pants, 1,100 vests, 1,400 odd pieces of coats, pants and vests, 300 dradata coats and vests, 400 silk luster coats and vests, 300 seersucker coats and vests, and 65 Prince Albert coats. The odd pieces are slightly burned or wet.

The full suits are not burned, but wrinkled and slightly wet. The overcoats will be offered in this sale simply because they are so elegant and cheap, and that our people will buy them for future use. It will pay to borrow money at 5 per cent a month to secure them now. In the full suits are a great variety, and many are fully as good as a suit made to order at S40, and many of them soiled but little. One-half of this lot is now in transit to Pueblo and the other half will arrive at Garden City the last of this month.

As we are short of room, the fire goods will remain in Garden City about two weeks and what is left will be shipped to Pueblo. Each suit or single garment will be mark ed in plain figures and customers can select for themselves in case wc are busy. We trust you know our way of selling a fire lot of clothing and will not waste your time in expecting a reduction by taking large quantities. Respectfully, it Wm. Colter.
