A person driving into town the past
week might easily imagine that it was
circus day and that the big parade might
be expected to start at any minute. The
parade did actually start every day but,
unlike ordinary street exhibitions, there
were no brass bands or elephants, just
simply a mass of bareain-hunters and
all bound for the big show at cut prices
in Lefor Bros. store. Every telephnoe
pole. lumber pile and shed was decorated
with artistically painted signs and there
vas no installing where to head in to
hear your dollar make the loudest noise.
The crowd certainly found the place and.
if the number of boxes and bundles car
ried from the store may be used as
evidence. they found the bargains. The
same people were cen on successive
days with more boxes and more bundles
which is more evidence of more bargains
and they tell you with tears in their eyes
that they wished they had more cash SO
that they could take advantage of the
thousands of other bargains in the Lefor
store. Sears & Roebuck and Montgomery
Ward & Co. have had very little bust
ness from Gladstone the past week and
this sale has easily kept several hundred
dollars off from their books and next
week s sale will knock these Chicago
firms out of as much more business.
The reason is as plain as abe. The
goods are right in town, the prices are
right. and it pays to advertise.
