When we named this afpositive" sale we looked in the dictionary and found that positive meant Real, Actual, Sure Enough, Without Question. Since the sale began, the public has found a new meaning.

A dollar plus is more than a dollar, and every dollar spent here during this sale has more than that much buying power. Ask somebody who has tried it. Or better still, try it yourself. That's the best way to be convinced of value. On Cross Examination Forced to Give Brandeis Complete Exoneration Washington, Feb. 10. Lewis D.
