under Price.

If we could sell a little
more of this and a little less
of that, we could make
things come out even--the
last man that came in would
carry off the last suit; but
we can't. Out of every
stock there are a great many
sizes left when some are
gone. The best we can do
with these incomplete assort-
ments is to mark them low
enough to set a great many
people looking among them
for bargains.
This we do every day at
this time of year; and just
now we have enough OF
such to stock a little store.
Besides, odd parts of suits
get left-coats, vests and
trousers. We have a room
in which there is nothing
else. There is in that room
cheaper clothing than you
have any notion of. We call
it the Bargain-Room.
These marked-down suits
and garments are of all
sorts; they may be among
the best in the store.
We force a continual clear
ance of such articles as
would only embarrass us;
and keep our stocks always
fresh and full.
