money-saving event for the purchasing public. You will find throughout the whole big store rare bargains in all lines
of merchandise carried in a big General Store.

because we will make the prices that will make them go.
THE GRAND O PE N IN G DAY will be worth coming miles to attend. We are going to make a superhuman
effort to sell more goods, give bigger and better bargains, take in more dollars, turn out more well-pleased customers,
wait on more people, reduce our stock more on this Grand Opening Day than was ever done in one day by any store
