There were some $30,O00 paid out yesterday and a considerable number have been coming in today to exchange their slip of paper for the ready money.

This Store Is Unusual In It's
 January Activities
 It must have impressed those customers who entered our doors since January 1st-the marked activity of things To come from stores who have assumed the usual January after-Xmas' lassitude into merchandising Mart-whose aisles teem with creativeness, whose helpers have caught the spirit of the store, whose counters and cases have an irresistible interest
 WHAT HAVE WE DONE? HOW HAVE WE DONE IT? CREATED THE GREATEST SALE OF WHITE in the history of Birmingham retailing. A sale whose first fea- ture was the distribution of wholesale quantities of MUSIlNWEAR at wholesale prices. To be continued throughout January.
 A second grand feature was the Annual Sale of MBRODERIES More lis" than was for it is now in the very height of an unparalled success
 And COMING is the third event-THE JANUARY SALE OF WHITE GOODS AND LNENS-which explains in advance nextweek's activities And we have not told half greatest crowds we must attribute to the JANUARY SILK SALE. Surely we have out classed even our greatest expectations and all past recordS-t is a good sale, but good only by reason of the satisfaction afforded to hundreds of women who responded to our advertising-and found as uSudlnO eXaggeratOn, put much CduSefOr reJO1Cng.
 And the JANUARY SHOE CLEARANCE has helped some-we hope it has helped you If not if has its help to offer until February 1st
 And those of us who are not busy selling and buying, are very busy planning for bigger Febru- ary and,a greater March, planning 10 make every month a RECORDBREAKER.
 And some of us are absorbed in SERVICE prob lems -how to make your shopping more pleasant How to draw you closer to us. How to improve the deliveries, the telephones, the change-making.
 Already the plans are drawn. We are going to grow store within our store Soon we can introduce you to series of BALCONIES first floor MESSANlNES- Ito make your heart swell with pride even as ours-for you and we can feel the same .proprietorship in the STORE THAT IS ALWAYS AHEAD.
 That is the How and the Why!

the use of Grape-Nuts I found a graft

was perceptibly lessened and is now
only a memory-it never returns.
