that VICTORY SALE
HOME SUPPLY COMPANY HAS
PLEASED THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE.

The Home Supply company's big
victory sale is drawing to a close, but
still the bargains are there. Through
the regrouping and ~repricing of bro
ken lots and small assortments a
phenomenal number of bargains have
been developed. and customers who
have patronized the sale once or a
dozen times by again calling will find
extra bargains awaiting them.
The Home Supply company's sale
has been one Of the best and most
popular ever held in Madison. The
reason for this is that the store has
been thrown wide open and any ar
ticle on the shelves was turned over
to the customer at a bargain price.
While the crowds have been large the
best of feeling has prevailed among
buyers and sellers and this has added
much to the popularity Of the sale.
A new price list appears in the
large victory sale advertisement in
this issue OF The Daily Leader. 1t
will be attractive reading matter and
a money saver to all who take advan-
.tage of the prices.
