"oNE-THRD or i CENTURY NO FLIES on THIS FACTORY
F. w. Woolworth Company Hold a
Great Sale in Their 617 Stores, r:

In celebration of thlrty-three and
one-third years of successful business
enterprise, the GIT stores of F.. w.
Woolworth company, situated in all
of the principal cities of:%the United
and Canada, are to hold a record
breaking sale during week of June
"a to 20, inclusive Fhis is to be
known as "One-Third of a Century
Sale" and during this week this firm
proposes to offer to their friends and
customers an array of special values
in every. department. that will COM
pletely eclipse all previous efforts.
The business of this company was
established by Mr.. F. w. Woolworth
in Utica, N. Y, just "One-Third of a
Century" ago. He began with a few
hundred dollars worth of merchan-
disc, starting and exclusive scent
store in the old Arcade building, the
first store of it's kind ever opened.
His next store was opened at Ian
caster, Penn, and line of 10-cent
goods was added, and it was here
that the popular and 10-cent bus
mess was first established. Later,
the Well-known firms of S. H. Knox
& Co., F. M. Kirby & Co., C. S. Wool
worth & Co., E. P. Charlton & Co.,
and w. H. Moore & Son, were es-
tablished in the same business.
These firms always maintained a
friendly relation to each other, their
proprietors being intimate personal
friends. It was but natural that
eventually the interests of these firms
should be merged together, as was
done last March, the new firm TAX
ing the name of "F. w. Woolworth
Co."
During all these years this firm
has faithfully followed the original
plan of adhering strictly to the pop
ular prices of 5 and 10 cents. Dur
ing recent years, while the prices of
nearly all commodities have been
constantly advancing, the variety and
value Of merchandise offered by the
Woolworth stores has been constant
ly increasing. This has been made
possible by the enormous purchasing
power of the firm. Every new store
opened meant increased purchasing
power, and this resulted in better
values for the public.
Manufacturers who find it neces-
sary to quickly turn their overpro-
duction of stock into ready cash.
find in this firm with it's unlimited
purchasing power, an opportunity tc
dispose of extraordinary quantities
of merchandise. This explains some
of the values that will be offered
during this sale.
You will do we'll to carefully watch
the windows each day to see some OF
the Special Values offered during the
week of the Sale, and in addition tC
items advertised in the windows
there will be placed on the counters
large variety of other bargains OF
which no previous announcement will
be made.
No such gigantic sale has ever be-
fore been attempted by any mercan-
tile organization, and it is the pur-
pose of this firm to make this Sale
fittingly celebrate the suspicious
event which it commentaries.
They wish to invite their patrons
and the public generally to visit
their store during. the week Of this
annual sale that they may secure
some of the Exceptional bargains that
will be offered.
