Sale
tt
Just ICO weeks ago this store held its first great "FRIDAY ECONOMY SALE." A quick retrospective glance may not be amiss. My! how the store has grown! And yet as a good friend said ; yesterday '"You are more
crowded than ever.! . Yes, the patronage has grown faster than we can build, and stocks have grown with it and the sale tomorrow will be a hundred times better than the first. How well the writer remembers that first "Friday
Economy Sale, it was with fear and trembling we launched it, Twas something of a new departure for this good, staid and conservative old store but it met the public s favor at once, and nobly they've responded to each
recurring weekly Friday Sale, in greater numbers each successive week, until the "Economy Sale" has become a feature and a -fixture in the storekeeping plan. Our imitators have been many we've paid the penalty of success by
being copied in this as other moves. Some stores have fallen into the habit of.making Friday a day of excuses for pushing out unseasonable and unwanted nierchandise under 'the guise of "Friday, Bargains.'.' This we have
never permitted ourselves. to dor-Every Friday bargain advertised consists of a special purchase made for that day only a big value that is "saved up," as it were, for that particular day and sold only then, and at a price that
in the ordinary course of business would mean loss. Each and every one of the items below, selected for Friday Specials,' represent NEW AND SEASONABLE SPRING GOODS, AT PRICES BELOW THAT OF
WHOLESALE DEALERS IN MOST CASES.- And not all the bargains are advertised. Twill be a glandsome spring bargain day-come and spend it with us. ' i f V V vl v'l . - r 1
