MOLINE STORE
TO Celebrate
First Anniversary Of Bargain Base
ment at New York Store Build
ing Observed.
Especial Moline ServlceJ

The New York store is celebra-
ting the first anniversary of the
opening of its bargain basement
with a price cutting carnival which
began today and will continue 10
days.
One year ago the bargain base
ment was opened. 1t contained a
meat and grocery store carrying a
large and first class stock. In ad-
dition, the basement in its $4,000
stock of merchandise practically
duplicated the offerings of the main
floors, though at a slightly lower
price.
From the beginning the base
ment enjoyed a great business. The
day of its opening saw this partic-
ular department literally packed
with shoppers. This patronage has
steadily increased during the wear.
Recognition of the values offered
on the part Of the buying public
has made possible the offering of
even greater values, and has made
the basement today one of the bus
lest spots in the tri-cities.
The trade extension sale which
began at the New York store Tues
day, Nov. s, and is scheduled to
continue Indefinitely. is proving to
be one Of the biggest merchandise
ing events that the store has held
since the change of OWNERSHIP sale
q little over a year ago.
