Our great readjustrnent sale last
Autumn anticipated tha radical
reductions along all lines tnat
have followed In consequence
we are, and for several months
have been. on g. reconstructed
price basis.
We realize, however, that unus-
ual values must still be present
ed in order to appeal to the
widespread spirit OF economy.
We decided to create such an
opportunity, by reducing our
discontinued fabrics and pat
terms. and such seasonable
goods which, if not sold now.
would remain In stock for some
time, to prices which would
make certain their sale by juno
S0th.
Our further desire was to bring
our establishment. Its resources,
and the attractive prices OF our
merchandise to the attention of
those who. for some reason.
may not have visited Us before.
