WHEN YOU READ ADS.
Our Week ly Talk on Store Doin

Advertising phraseoogy is not always
clear to the average shopper, and thereby
hangs a loss both TO buyer and seller AT
this time of the year every thing ought
to be at bargain prices, because il is be-
tween two seasons, and little, if any
wearing apparel is staple. a rutfle or
bow, a twist or turn in a coming sea-
sons style, and articles most expensive
and elaborate, are rendered compnra tive
ly valueless. Thus goods that are likely
to remain over for another season are
priced to a shadow of their worth. and
the peoples opportunity is at hand. IF
a slight alteration on each skirt in a
stores stock would make them modest
for an approaching season, nine out of
ten stores would rather sacrifice the goods
than give their attention TO alteration,
when drummers are bes;esins them with
samples of the advanced styles. This IS
the time for the provident housewife to
do her buying, but, of course. with
enough discretion to prevent the pur-
cllnse of an article that will be "passe''
even after alteration. Farewell Sale, Au-
gust Sale, Last Chance Sale, and other
similar captions are the proper words
to announce selling events at this time
Some idea of the bargain chances may
be CLEANED from an experience of one of
