Bent's Ladies' Ready-to-wear When Mr. Bent first negotiated with me conccrninpr the closing up of his Business I hesitated I knew this Stock. I had handled it in April last, when I unloaded Several Thousand Dollars worth of it in a Special Sale. At that time I told Mr. Bent that his stock was far and away too large for a City the size of 1'rincc Rupert. But Mr. Bent gave me the option of removing the stock to Vancouver or in fact doing what I wished with it, the only stipulation being that the entire Business be disposed of in the most rapid manner possible. 1 then stipulated that I should have complete control of the selling prices and I pointed out to Mr. Bent that with a forced Sale and his tremendous stock, we could only expect to realize a mere fraction of the regular value, as selling would have to be crowded into a few days. Well, we signed the contract, and this splendid stock, approximately $17,000 worth of the most superior kind of Ladies-Wear it has been my pririlegc to handle for many a long day will lie thrown to the mercy of the Public FOR WHAT IT WILL FETCH STOCK, FIXTURES, FITTINGS - EVERYTHING MUST GO no reasonable offer refused.
