i I Just a Word About Louella Butter
Mason & DeMairy
1 1 15 Chestnut Street
(Opposite Keith's)
Selling Furs for Less Than Next
Season's Cost Because We Must!
Moving to a New Store Makes Clearance
Absolutely Necessary
HERE are points to bear in mind about this Sale:
Our regular prices on these furs were unusually low. We bought the skins
early last year when cost was normal and made them up during the summer when
labor was more reasonable.
Next season you will pay considerably' more for furs of these qualities.
In most instances prices will be more than double
When you consider the privilege of purchasing and reserving your selection in our
vaults untii next Fall on payment of a deposit it surely is a most unusual investment for
you. Also, all charge purchases will be billed April 1, if requested.
Now You Can Buy Furs at
A Third, A Half & Even Less !
and Marie I
A Noted Physician said recently, speaking of foods, "Whatever gives to
man the greatest amount of power to do things, must be considered a part of
the diet of a nation."
Butter, of all foods, stands at the head of the list of heat producing,
energy-giving, nerve-sustaining diets, and this is particularly true of "Louella."
L- . t We Guarantee Louella to Be the Best Butter
ISten l Made in These United, States Today.
Price means nothing until it is weighed against the value it purchases,
in a word:
"It is not whaCyou PAY, but what yon GET (or what you pay that counts."
