These are great days to save money by spending money. Our January Clearance Sales are
going on all over the store. Not half of this good sale news gets into the papers because so many
of the finest lots are too small to advertise.
A walk through the store with eyes open for the good things is like a visit to a gold mine,
where the nuggets lie thick. The good service, the store's arrangement for comfort, and a habit
of refraining from exaggeration in effort to make things seem better than they really are
these are the points that stand out now, as always in other words:
When we give a bargain we don't give a half-way bargain the limit or none that's the
rule at Meier & Frank's and the prices below illustrate our policy.
