A State ment
 By Louis i Sak ks

This Christmas this should be your store in which to shop. Never before have we been able to so completely prepare, nor to SO well prepare, for Christmas needs-whether it be the smallest handker- chief or the finest coat or fur. And with few exceptions-these ex- captions are plainly marked in our stock every article is new. Each express brings us additional g o o d 8 crisps, different, stylish -the kind you'll want.
 For forty years I've headed this organiza- ton which during all of that time has spared no effort towards obtain ing for our patrons and the public generally the very best the markets afforded-and at prices consistent with quality.
 Never have we, nor do we, think any other store has been able to offer two weeks before Christmas the goods most in demand at prices greatly below their worth.
 The reason we can do this is plain. In October we announced t h e| necessity of disposing of what merchandise wei had in order to effect the purchase by me of the entire capital stock in this company, My| appreciation cannot bel expressed for the gener- ous way in which the| pub blic responded. Within six weeks our stocks were cleared. Our buyers were obliged to go to the
 markets to buy goods
 and able to buy them in
 quantities and at just
 the time manufacturers were anxious to sell at a price.
 We've prepared for
 the largest Christmas business in our history. You can be prepared to do your Christmas shopping even more pleasantly here than be- fore and be assured of getting the things you
 most want at prices that mean values. |
