Dear Sirs: In over thirty years buying exper ience I -find a most peculiar condition existing at this time. Today is a buyer's market. Many man ufacturers must unload regardless of cost. I find there is enough of this merohandiso availablo for mo to make this tho bost buying trip I have ever had, since most of the other big buyers are waiting until after the first of the year to go into the market. I have bought goods in moot in stances at about fifty cents on the dollar. This condition is about over, 3 surpluses arc about gone, and manufac turers will not produco further at a less. Prices are therefore bound to rise. V.'e can r.ov; go after business aggres sively, with the best value3 in America. Yours truly, Victory scores another "knockout". Watch for 8-page bulletin.
