"How
to Lie When Asleep
is being discussed by the Medical Journals. When it is settled they might take up the subject "HOW TO TELL
THE TRUTH WHEN AWAKE." We are led to mention this because so many advertisements today are mislead
ing and seek to give the impression that because an article is marked down 25 to 50 it is now selling for less
than it's worth. . . . , ,
No article honestly priced on today's market can stand a 25 discount, unless the early buyer paid too much tot
it. The "mark up" and "mark down" method does not appeal to us.
The Same Price Every Day to Every Man is the
GOLDEN RULE PLAN
Some of our new Spring Merchandise has arrived and can be found on our shelves and on our bargain tables at the
