idea is abused!
Instead oftusink it as a legitimate
means to rid each department Of the
accumulatioh Of all "odds and ends"
short lengths, small lots" &C.,
many stores take this opportunity in

Remnant Day" black eye. How

ours is the legitimate remnant sale"
brought about by this great distribu
ton Of goods.

treble service here tomorrow. Each
department has been ransacked and
