Every department on this spacious third
floor has been crowded right from the
first day of the sale. Stocks have been
depleted for time, but only to be re-
plenished from Our surplus stocks, as
we could not afford to allow interest to
lag in this event that has become so pop
ular with our patrons.
Now only three days remain for you to
buy from these heavy stocks at prices
far below the average.
We hope none will let the opportunity
pass without selecting all they need
while the low prices prevail.
Come in today, Saturday, Sept. 4th, is
the last day.
