Dear Strive have received your offer

liable Clothing Co., Ellsworth, Me. Mills
Clothing Co., Newport, Me-. and others of your
retail stores. The prices you offer are SO far
under the actual cost of the goods that we have
hesitated considerably in accepting it, but as IL
is our aim to clean out our entire fall
stock and as we are now in the midst of manu-
featuring our spring goods, we have decided TO
accept your offer. We are very sure the bar
gains you have purchased will help you build up
large trade in your several retail stores, as on
many lines you can retail considerably less than
the wholesale price and still make fair profit.
Yours very truly.
