Yoo cannot know a word about Jt
until Saturday. You know we
wauttosurcrlje you.
IKE the lovesick youth in the
illustration, we're "clean rat
tled. " Fact is, we've so much
to tell about and so little time
and space in which to do it, that we're
in a quandary as to what to omit and
where to begin. For much must be
omitted that's certain. What? Aye,
there's the rubl .
May be it's news to you, madam,
that many of our most remarkable bar
gains never get a word in the papers.
Doesn't seem plausible, does it? Yet it
is so. Why? Possibly, quantities may
not warrant publicity. But, in any event
there's another reason. We are unalter
ably opposed to any policy in the least
suggestive of putting all one's best apples
at the top of the barrel.
That we aim to attract you here, is
attested by the attractions we put in
print; that we strive to please you when
here, is evidenced by the numerous sur
prises which await you, about which we
are so strangely silent. Saturday, there
fore, come with great expectations re
garding offerings here specified. At the
same time be prepared for most pleasant
surprises. It's a way we have.
