On the contrary, cost of production continues to increase. Therefore, we have to look facts squarely in the face, holding out no hope of any gen eral lowering of prices, but doing the best we can for our customers by early buying in as large quantities as'can be procured. We have surely saved our customers many thousands of dollars by anticipating changes in prices, which have been more orless steadily advancing for two or three years. And we shall save the public thousands more this month ! w: rE could have found very good reasons for eliminating the August Furniture Sale from this year's program of special events, for we assure you that we might have continued to sell all the Furniture we own at our regular prices, and still have been giving you considerably more than your money's-worth as based upon the prices we should have to pay to dupl icate our stock. But our semi-annual Sales are fixed events, looked forward to by thousands of customers, and there shall be no break in the custom so long as we, can depend upon our half-hundred good manufacturers to keep up our stocks. If You Wish Extended Time for Payment Many customers whose usual rule is to pay cash for mer chandise when pur chased, may find it convenient at times to take advantage of the privilege extend ed by our DE FERRED PAY MENT OFFICE. Arrangements may be made to have the time for payment extended over a period of two or more months. Every customer pays the same bed-rock cash price, therefore it is necessary to add to deferred pay ment accounts a small percentage for interest and clerical work. (Floor 4 Vj Filbert Street). . j Our Entire Stock is Harked at Educed Prices TTTT 1 MIST hh H TTw "Tpi iniaimflsoMier ana more t anea pesigms 1 1 if nan aver WHILE we have secured fewer close-out and sample lots for this than for previous sales, we have spent1 many months of active, able effort in strengthening our lines. A large portion of our Furniture is owned at the lower prices of a year or more ago, and therefore our regular prices up to-the first of August were actually less than the real value. And it is these prices, already low, which we have reduced, in the interests of continued good will and to maintain the prestige of this Store as headquarters for THE MOST ATTRACTIVE FUR NITURE AT THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PRICES. iOOMPARE for yourself the Furniture in the sev- v eral August sales, and note carefully the prices remembering that you cannot always judge alone by the price and value as shown on the ticket, be cause, in most instances, 'our figures representing J rifi the regular price are lower than the real value.
