Sometimes people are scared by figures. If they represent a high price
they'll say “Oh, there’s no use for me to trade at a store that quotes such
prices.” And if the prices are extremely low, there are some who think
that low prices represent poor qualities.

This is true at this store when the crowds áre extra large— larger than

not provide enough clerks. So some of the ladies are impatient, because
they fear the goods will all be gone before their turn comes, and because
they know our prices are lowest and our qualities as represented.

Saturday, July 1, was Trail Day at
the Lewis and Clark Fair and on that

thirty-five shows on the Trail, and it
costs only about seven dollars to see
them all. This is much’ cheaper than

whereby the purchaser of a fifty-cent
