"CRAZY STOREKEEPER," say the old-school merchants, who, had they $500,000 worth of surplus stock at -this season would
carry it over into a new season and clog the wheels of 1905 business. But this is a "Different Store," an unusual store that does
things the unusual way. This is the people's buying time. The time when folk want to buy is the time fpr us to sell. A
weed's .phenomenal business now such as we are doing is worth as a stock shrinker a month, later on when people don't

$100, in gold to the three managers who increase their business over the corresponding period of last year in the greatest ratio.
We pledge ourselves not to count the cost in any instance, but, on the contrary, instruct every man and woman to sell at, or less,
