The Models Advertising

this. spring, like last fall, will be
mostly in small type. "rhe bigger the
fake the larger the type" has become
a true maxim. j. B. Sax believes that
real, genuine bargains, such as he is
prepared to offer, require only the
slightest mention. To make the bar
gains long" and the advertisements
short" is The Models policy. The
coupon idea we introduced last season,
and which enabled perhaps every read
Ell of this paper to secure some desir-
able article of clothing at half or less
what it would have cost at any other
store, will be extensively used this
spring. Watch for these coupons. Ev.
cry one will be redeemed, and even tho
the price will be so low us to make
you skeptical, you need only consider
that The Models 81. B. SAX word
goes with it and there are MO unre-
deemed pledges about The Model. dl,
