AND
WHY
NOl
NOW
Did you ever notice how many people will give you advice
free. One of our fellow merchants told us that a success
ful sale could not be given in December because the pub
lic could not be convinced that it was legitimate.
Excuse the slang please, but "what
do you think of that." Must we wait
until our friends have bought their
Winter's supplies and Christmas pres
ent as well, and paid the regular prices,
wait until they have already spent their
money for something perhaps they
didn't want?
We believe in getting while the get
ting is good, there's the trouble and just
where so many fail in their efforts.
However one does not always have to
listen to free advice and the first five
days of our sale has convinced us that
we got in just about right. Show the
majority of men that you are on the
square, that the values are there and
the prices are right, and the sale is
made.
