The stocks are topheavy that much. We're willing to discount the stocks now as a business man discounts his note at a bank. Tie not so much the need of money but of room. Spring goods will come pouring in a month hence. It won't do to pile new goods on top of old. We don't allow goods to become old here. Each season must bear its OWN loss. The time to SELL is when people moat want to BUY. That's NOW, so we issue orders to our managers to cut loose, forget what costs were or profits ever meant, but SELL ! And to him who sells the most we'll pay a golden prize. The sixth day of the sensational sale is at hand. The values are better than ever, the bargains stronger and plentier. We predict a perfect furore of buying. Every special of the week, not already sold out, remains in force. And new ones are added. Santa Claus Comes Today to Help And the Women's Tea Room Opens.
