AN APPEAL, AND AN OPEN
APOLOGY To THE PUBLIC
Young and McCombs Give the
Following for Publ
| cation.
MONEY RAISING SALE
AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY
Call on All Friends and Patrons
to Come and Benefit
Tomorrow.

In making a direct appeal to the
grand new store is their store and
that their present gain is our future
success. We feel that we owe the
public an apology for the necessity
of our present radical move but it
comes at time when we could see
no other way out of our predicament
and therefore an absolute necessity.
While it means a decided loss to us
now. the money raising sale will be
long remembered and appreciated
event and we hope in the end that
we will raise the large sum of money
required and continue to give to the
community the best service and best
kinds of merchandise. When we
throw open our doors tomorrow we
open then the most far reaching sale
lever attempted and when you 90
through the store it will be seen at a
glance that everything we say and
promise about the sale is true. 1t
was hard for us to sacrifice our new
stock but we had TO and so to more
than make good give one-fourth to
one-half off on everything. When
you consider carefully what one
fourth to one-half means 25 per cent
to SO per cent off on new merchan-
disc. you will appreciate what ex-
tremes we are going to in order to
make sure of the success of our eff
forts to raise $4,000 in Is days
