Sale
Commences Friday July 7. Ends Mon. July 31
The greatest clearing salc.of the year. Because of the unusual amount of
merchandise to clear, this sale will largely exceed all our previous July
Clearing Sales in volume, variety of merchandise, and in price reductions.
aii broken lines, odd lots, and those assortments of regular merchandise l
which are larger than we wish, have been given low price marks that will
force quick selling. The sale sheets will show enormous Josses, but we
count losses as inevitable during these clearing sales -part of the business.
