what he saw there yesterday. Notwith-
standing that most of our citizens were

the store was crowded with customers
patiently waiting their turn to be waited
upon. Mr.. Rosenthal called Mr.. Tromblay,
his Manager. and asked him for list con-
tanning the number Of suits in stock in
each department. How many all wool
suits have we. ranging in price Sl2 to SlS?''
ne asked his gentlemanly Manager. over
/, 200" was the answer. Instruct the sales
man in charge of the suit department
to attach a small tag to each
lot indicating that they are to
be sold at $40 per suit" (which suits do
you mean7' asked Mr. T. Each and
every suit now marked S12, $14, SIS, SIC or
SIS" was Mr. rs promp. reply. Give
them choice, substitute one general slash
instead of partial mark down" Mr.. T..
smiled, and in fifteen minutes the order
was obeyed. Now for the lower priced

people choice at IS. Then go through the

Don't you think so2 What we thought we
leave the public TO imagine. Meantime we
propose to be on hand early today with
either s. or $40 and secure one Of those
suits. The Tower is undoubtedly not alone
the leading and most enterprising store in
Grand Rapids. bat ia also the most daring,
and best bargain store in the State. We say
this voluntarily, and know whereof we
speak.
