BARGAIN DAY
Every day is BARGAIN DAY
at Skaggs' Stores

We tempt you with no cheap give-away
prices in order to get you in the store, just
to sell you some high priced articles. Such
has been the custom in times gone by. A
merchant would advertise some articles much
below cost, and tell his clerks to sell just as
few of those items as possible, but try and
sell other merchandise that showed big
profit. Often people bought only the specials
in which case the merchant was loser. In
the present age such system is impossible.
We, or no other merchant can afford to give
anything away. Our system is a uniform
per cent on all merchandise, and when we try
to sell you some article it is not that it carries
larger profit, but it is something which we
know is good value and will please you
and bring you back.
SHOP EARLY
We doubly appreciate morning orders, espe-
cially on Saturday. In view of our enormous
Saturday evening business it is impossible for
us to wait on you as we desire, and to those
who can, we are sure you will be much more
pleased if you arrange to do your buying
early. We will promise you better service
in the future.
The following are few of our regular prices:
