We Caught Up With the
Good Opportunities
No Hurly-Burly Sales

and we think it hardly fair to coax
or excite people to buy months ahead
of their wants, when goods may be
cheaper two months from now.
At the present time some
schemers, who are overstocked, come
to us with their old prices marked
up one-third or more, that they may
be so advertised by the retailer, but,
in fact, the goods can be bought at
forty off from the face of the bill.

The resolution expressed a desire to
help readjustment of conditions between
capital and labor, as a benefit to the re-
