M c Schedule of Bargain Events Incident to Today's 1 15th Grand Friday Economy Sale inote particularly all the items marked with a star EVER GO TROUT PISHING? If you have, yon'vo learned that trout are very "wise and wary fish. You carefully and noiselessly scout your way to the edge of a brook, hook baited temptingly with fly or luscious worm; you cast your line over into the miniature rapids, taking strenuous care to keep concealed all the while from the finny denizens at the farther end of your line, lest Ir. Trout should take alarm and dash away- You feel the nibble, then the jerk and you ALMOST land the pretty dotted rogue, onty to see him dart like a flash a score of yards away. Don't it make you mad? But you don't expect to land that trout after that do you? Not much! He's felt the hook. Just so with men, and women, and stores. Very few folk will jump at fictitious bargain snaps the second time. If a store fools them once, rest assured they will take their turn and fool the store by letting a second at tempt pass unnoticed. On the other hand, if they have received fair treatment, they will trust that store which accords it for another turn, and another and another, and on thro' life. It's because we've always dealt with the people honestly that our offerings are well treated. Our class of merchandise goes to our public as the best they can get, and when they prove to the contrary we are always glad to make good. "When we announce reductions in prices, people know prices ARE reduced, for for mer ones always remain on the ticket with the new ones added. We always urge comparison of the regular prices with those of other stores. You won't lose by following us in any offerings we may chance to make you. The reputation of the house backs every statement we make. A marvelous list of rare values awaits Friday shoppers today.
