Clearance Sales!
We have just* finished taking our Annual Inventory, which
was the cause of disclosing a large amount* of short* pieces

of the opportunity.
It’s Simply a Matter of
Value for Your Money
Buy Your Underwear
Now
Isn’t that the point that you argue
when you decided to patronized one
store or the other? W e know it is.
You have no favorite except the
store that gives you the best value
for your money. For this reason, it
should be a very easy matter for
you to decide to give us your pat
ronage.
Winter Underwear, we mean.
The

ting a little thin, arent they? You will
be getting a cold the first thing you
know; and doctor’s bills are expen
sive, -so better take the hint and get
some of these exceptionally low priced
garments. They will keep you com
fortable.
Here’s Where You Buy
Good Shoes
Cheap
Blankets and Comforters
That’ll Keep You Warm
You can’t buy “cheap” shoes here
at any price.
W e don’t sell that
kind. But if you want a pair of
good shoes at a small price, we can
serve you better than anyone else.
W e still have some we are selling
at one-half the original price.
During the coldest nights; and at
prices that under ordinary circum
stances, we would never think of
quoting. And we wouldn’t quote
them now if we didn’t want the room
for other lines.
That’s the whole
story— except the prices.
