The word business was
first coined during the time
of the Great Chauzer. It
consists of the production,
transportation, and distri
bution of the things which
are necessary to human
life. Business is intelligent, useful activity. Business is a
human "service, therefore idleness is a disgrace. Only the
busv.nerson is happy. Our store is a radiating center of
" VI. . M. V
beauty, education and industry, where the welfare of the
-public and employees is carefully considered. Every detail
of this store's machinery has been carefully overhauled and
we expect the greatest Rush of the season during this Great
White Carnival.
The best Values you'll see for
months to come in High-grade
Under-muslins, Laces and Em
broiders, White Fabrics and
other White Goods. Silk.
Wool and Cotton G-oods both
in the piece and ready to wear.
1
It's buying time now for present and future needs in
White because it's saving time. The freshest, fullest stocks
and the greatest values you will see again for along time
are now offered you.
We bought widely for this event and
well. The undergarment stock is usu
ally large and; select. The finest varie
ties we have ever offered before ; soft,
fine and carefully sized and daintily
trimmed and have been purchased so
fortunately as to enable us to sell them
at prices rarely associated with such
high grade garments.
Other White Sale Goods were equally well bought and
the offerings in all lines are irresistably attractive.
SPECIAL DELIVERY
We have employed extra help and have made arrange
ments by which all purchases will be delivered the same
day when so desired by our customers. Special Delivery
will leave our store at 5.30 P. M. for all routes.
