Wash Goods

If yon knew the exact situation of
the Wash Goods market, you would
wonder why we are not charging high
er prices.
Just for example, we are receiving
our spring Ginghams, and before they
are on our counters, come prices for
fall Ginghams, with an if. And that
if is, if bought before March 5 for
next fall, 2A cents per yard advance;
if later, another advance.
One lot of these best Ginghams can
be bought in our Basement Sale at
12kc per yard, which is less than
case lots to us after March 5.
All of our spring merchandise will
be sold just as cheaply as"we can sell
it and get back cost of selling. When
you visit other cities and compare the
values, you will appreciate better our
prices.
Send for samples. Large stock to
select from. We pay the parcel post.
