as to present these extraordinary values
time for Early Christmas Fur-Shopping
j This is THE "Fur Sale Exceptional," for the
great and stirring reason that the values are unsurpassed;
It came about this way: We bought a warehouseful of
Fur skins from a leading Fur skin dealer of New York
City, who made us the outstanding offer to buy his stock
of Fur skins at price concessions of 35c on the dollar.
The proposition was unprecedented; such quantities
would ordinarily "tie up" almost any Fur merchant in
the country, but the prices were so exceedingly low that
we bought at once. We have now "manufactured" or
made up these skins into the brilliantly fashionable gar
ments you see listed below. These values exist for
YOUR advantage.
