Regarding China and
Glassware

the question for you is, will you pay one-fourth to one-half
less for these goods this week, or wait and pay one-fourth to
One-half more afterward?
That is the choice which this last week of the China Sale
presents to you. Once the sale is over the price of every
thing in it will be 25 to 33 13 per cent higher, and the
tendency of the market is to 60 higher still.
Between now and Christmas Eve you are likely to have
need for some new dishes or new cut glassware, but you are
by no means likely to have the opportunity that you now have
of buying them at a saving of one-fourth to one-half. In
fact. it is almost certain that it will be a long time again
before the same fine choice of wares will be offered at such
remarkable savings.
American, French and English dinner sets are shown
in as good an assortment as at the beginning of the sale.
Practically all of these are one-third less than regular prices,
but glass and inexpensive glassware are here in ample choice
at one-fourth to one-half less than these goods will be marked
after September 80.
Your choice is to pay less now or more later.
