WHAT IS A BARGAIN?
*
You’ll find the answer on our bargain
tables. You can compare the merchan-
dise you see there with those of our regu
lar stock selling at regular prices. You
will find them the same in everything but
style or size. We have found it hard to
get a buyer for them, and we can’t wait
any longer. We’ve got to do something
to make the right person want them, ao
we put this merchandise out in plain view,
and murk them at a price that in itself
will attrnct attention—and then some
body comes along who can use them—
“and that’s a barguin.”
Regular quality at un unusual price be
cause it happens to be unusuully hard
to see.
