"HIS helpful section of Meier & Frank Company always extends to its
I patrons the same courtesies as to credit, deliveries and goods return
able as rendered by any part of the Upstairs Store. 1 he Lower-Price
'Store is ardently engaged every day in helping to battle down the high
costs of satisfactory merchandise. Its lower prices are linked with the qual
ities which pay to buy because they give the proper amount of service.
The recent drop in the New York market enabled our representatives to
secure merchandise which has not been approached in value this season.
