These Waists Go on Sale WEDNESDAY ONLY Most of Them "Just About Half" What You Pay Elsewhere The manufacturers of waists are complaining. The recent unfavorable weather in the East has demoralized the waist business for the New York manufacturer. They say business has fallen short of their expectation. As retailers we are wide awake to the meaning of just such information. When a manu facturer complains he is usually carrying a byrden of unsold stock and where there is unsold stock there is always an opportunity of bargain getting. Such is the case in this instance. Our New York resident buyer wired us to make an offer for this entire surplus stock. Our answerwas to take the lot if the price made would insure quick distribution. That's what he did. We illustrate eight of these waists. The representation is paltry when you remember there are over 6000 waists in this sale. These cuts are merely suggestions of what you may expect. Needing a waist for now, or the warm days soon to come, you will hardly ignore thisch ance.
