SOUND REASONING.

The argument for an active winter
business this year rests on several
antecedents, among them
First-The extraordinary opportun-
tiles for securing great bargains in
worthy goods.
Second-After holidays. there is al
ways a quietness that gives you q
study of personal needs.
Conscious needs and extraordinary
opportunities to meet them ought to
produce business, and that explains
the splendid opening of our January
business.
