Bvegy Satttgday is Bargain Day !
There will be on sale Staple goods of good quality; the price of which will make them go. I have too much stock 011
hand and am reducing it in this way. Every Saturday something new on sale at priees that are less than cost in most
bargains. THE REASON? Well, I am in debt and paying interest. To get money out of my Overstock and stop
interest pays. Then I have to pay taxes on more stock than I actually own. So by reducing my stock to a place
where I Can be out of debt, and only pay taxes on stock actually owned saves taxes and interest and I shall have the
pleasant dreams that only the man who owes no one can have.
