Now for a quick clearing of Holiday Goods.
 When we buy goods, we go to the very best markets, where we can get you the very best values. We sell these goods at a slight ad- vance on the price we paid but the selling price is natu- rally a very low one on ac- cout of our methods of buy ing. We buy in very large quantities, so as the assort- ments will be as complete as possible up to the last minute of holiday buying. We ask Our Public to buy their Christmas Goods early-many of them do so-others can't we think it would be unfair to those who buy early to cut prices before Christmas as many stores do and give the late conner a lower price than the obliging early buyer. That is why we make our prices as low as possible at first and keep them at that price till after Christmas. Now we'll clear out our bal ance of Holiday Goods in Daylight Square at exactly one-half their marked prices.
