Chestnut) "A stone it for the wall will not be left by the roadside." Persian Proverb.

(Main Floor, Market) Your Dollars Are Real Dollars Again in the Sale of Hosiery and Underwear It is true that the cost of living is high, and going higher, but it is equally true that this condition can be circumvented to some extent with wise expenditure. For example, here is over $72,000 worth of hosiery and underwear, for every member of the family and every season of the year, put on sale at A Little Above Half Price A great many of these garments are less than' half price, but as some are a little more we make the statement conservative. Doubly conservative when you consider that the savings are based on wliat these goods have been regularly selling for. Future prices will be still higher. These are chiefly our own regular goods reduced, with some good "seconds" from mills we know to be reliable. Not all sizes in each group, but all sizes in the lot. It is a downright waste of money to let a sale like this go by without taking advantage of it. Men's underwear at ?1, $1.25, $2 and $3.
