Victims of
Slashing
Probably the most astonishing

run for a week. He gave this reai
son for keeping special prices in
effect from Thursday thru Wednes
day. "By extending the time lim
its of the sale thru next Wednes
day, we hope to let all the shop
pers In the area reap th,e benefits
from the lowered prices, regard
less of where they are in the
habit of shopping."
