you are wondering why

NOUBTLESS you are wondering why
we deem it necessary or expedient
to cut and slash the prices so ruth
lessly at this great January clearing sale
of worthy and dependable merchandise.
We have planned'for weeks that this
sale should head the list of all our jan
uary sales. No other store in this local
ity requires such large stocks as we carry
throughout the season. We must always
be prepared to meet the demands upon a
big store, consequently ready TO make
quick clearance of large lots of seasonable
goods when the meridian of the season is
past. We count these losses on one or
two weeks of clearing sales in large fig
ures, but it makes room for entire new
lots of fresh goods at the beginning OF
each season and we're satisfied with Moth
ing else.
Need we remind, you often buy the
best of goods at these clearing sales, at
half Our regular prices?
