A day full of interest and economy to every frugal person who is particular as to the class of merchandise they buy and the RELIABILITY of the store in
which 'they do their shopping. Formal "Openings" are over and now we start digging again. Digging diligently to do better than ever before in merchan
dising, to better our former best. Meanwhile our numberless good friends may help us, if they will, by Suggestions of what to do and what to avoid. The Open
ings carried with them a lessonto you and to us. They taught us as never before a realization of the possibilities that lie in the path of this store, they
demonstrated to you our masterful supremacy as storekeepers. In the judgment of reliable and responsible critics, 'twas the greatest feat in Mercantiledom
since that remarkable event of October, 1902; that happened in Chicago--the opening of the mammoth mercantile establishment of Marshall Field's. Nothing
, before or since of a similar nature has ever equaled the grand Fashion Fete and Merchandise Exposition conducted by this store on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week. And now the spring campaign starts in earnest Easter is but nine days away; there's many needs to be filled. Prices like these
will aid you materiallythe more because they are affixed to new, stylish, reliable, down-to-date merchandise. The yellow price tickets are the guide posts to
wonderful, economies tomorrow. Only a part of the bargain story is printed here. Come and roam thro' the store; 'tis full to overflowing with thoughts to
' aid the prudent and particular person. " , - ' . ' "
