idea is abused!j

means to rid EACH department Of the
accumu1ati@ oMall odds and ends"
short lengths, ia small lots" &c,
many stores take this opportunity in
disposing of a. lot, of undesirable
passe merchandise.
Such methods have given the
Remnant Day" black eye. How
ever, believe us when we say that
ours is the legitimate remnant sale"

ton of goods.
