SEDER IS STILL AT IT

The Manufacturer's Public Sale still continues magnet for buyers at the Seder store. It is little wonder this is so. Right in the heart of the Christmas season a bargain sale; yes, the biggest bargain sale ever inaug- urated in Putnam, is being conducted. It is surprise, and many people could not credit it Now they have been here and they know 1t is so. They have told their friends and they have come. So the fact has spread, and, if it hasn't reached your ears, it now reaches your eyes. The sale at this season of the year is most unus- ual, but these are unusual times. It is the readjustment period. Mer- chants have to take losses; so do man. ufacturers. Long ago We said that prices were coming down. We are proving it. They are down. Mems, women's. Misses and youths wearing apparel is selling at prices you would not have believed possible month ago. That's why we are getting the business. Are We getting yours? If not think it over.-Adv.
