2 Surprise rty at DcGraw name IJcniy rinkcrton Called by DcjUi On unreasonable prices, at the "Golden Rule." We bought our fall merchandise on market conditions ex isting six months to' a year ago; therefore we can sell you merbhandise at a less figure than many of the one store merchants have to pay today: We buy for cash and sell for cash, which causes the biggest manufactur ers in the United States to compete for the business of the J. C. Penney Co., Inc. . Surely a company buying for 175 stores and paying spot cash can sell on a closer margin than the man buying for one .or two stores and buying on 30 to 90-day bills. ' We invite comparison of values and prices. I Oilcloth (all colors) Window shades House lining Unblcach muslin Unbleach toweling Bleached toweling Cotton batU . lb.). ... Cctton baits (1 lb.) ....
