From the beauties OF Christmas fol-
iase and holiday attire to the practical
red tag announcing the annual clLar-
ance sale. is the transformation made
at the Henry Pappe store. The Christ
mas attire. significant Of holiday sea-
son, which attracted thousands to the
Fappe store. has been supplanted by
the red TAGS. denoting great price re-
ouctlon. The red tags. while not per-
maps making as brilliant a display as
the magnificent Christmas dress. have a
still! greater significance to Mr.. Pappe's
many customers and friends. They are
significant Of a general price reduction,
honestly made.
Red tags flutter from every counter
and every show case. and from every
garment In the big display windows.
They mark high price slaughter which
hundreds have been waiting for since
early autumn. The Pappe January sales
have become historic and for the next
month the Pappe store will be the CEN
ter of a business rush unsurpassed In
the business history Of the city,
Sale System Unique.
The system devised by MIR. Pappe for
conducting his reduction sales is orig
inal and is the only honest plan yet
employed. 1t prevents any opportunity
OF marking up goods for the purpose
of making a reduction and yet get the
original price OF the goods. Not an
article in the whole stock is retagged.
Not garment is remarked. The origi-
nal tags tell the customer the price
asked for the article. Large schedules
Of reduction are conspicuous,y posted
where every customer can plainly SEQ
Just what reduction he Is receiving.
The article desired is shown with Its
original tas-that's the price originally
asked. and the price charged at all
times. On the placards Of price reduc-
ton the discount is shown.
No Garment Remarked.
Mr.. Pappe stands ready to make at
fidavit that not an article has been re-
marked. Every garment is bearing Its
original ticket Everything. in the store
is inclu1ed in this great price reduction
sale, with the exception OF overalls-
everything else Is yours at a bargain
price.
The Pappe red tag sales are too well
known to need general explanation.
For fifty miles Mr.. Pappa's customers
come to take advantage OF this great
sale. II has been conducted for years
to the satisfaction Of all his customerse.
Good business policy demands such
q clearance once a year-this year es-
pecially because Of the mild winter
which has resulted in the stock OF
overcoats, underwear and heavy goods
being exceptionally large for the time
Of year This stock must move In order
to make room for the early spring
goods. which will shortly arrive.
Look over the list Of reductions. visit
the store, and you will be convinced OF
the honest manner In which the sale
is conducted, and Of the great bargains
offered. The sale begins tomorrow and
will continue until Saturday, Jan. Is.
This Is the only genuine clothing sale
in Marshalltown. It's the one you've
been waiting for, and the one that will
save you money.
