The rivalry among stores for big buildings, big crowds and large attention will reach its limit. Big stores now sell without adequate profit. "Know what I'm talking about?' Bet I do! Take this, for instance (pointing to a dollar purchase); never made for a dollar in the world. I know that vast quantities of goods are sold every day at a loss. Advertisements, as a rule today, exaggerate some a little, some a lot. Of course, some few don't a few. There's a lot of truth in these latter sort." Now, then, let's dissect this. We're ifuilty of selling at a loss, sometimes; not always OUR loss, though lots of merchandise gets into wrong hands. Holder must set rid of it in a hurry needs money.
