A Customer of the Store Said:
"We like to have each day the information of exactly what is
going on in your big market house, that we have dealt in satis
factorily for so many years'
IT IS our purpose to make this page a window, through
which the people can look at exactly what is going on.
We never have on hand largo lots of left-over goods,
because we mark them at fair, low prices to begin with, and
they are "sometimes sold out in a single day, or certainly in'
a week.
Be it understood
that oftentimes we see "$25 for a suit that was $40," etc.,
etc., and yesterday one of our buyers, in referring to one
of these things, stated that we had always sold a certain
dress of the quality of that $25 dress for $18. We never
tried to get $25 for it, and it never was worth more than
half of $40.
There is no such manipulation of values going on in
this house, and if this were our 5000th Anniversary Day,
we would not be selling any cheaper than we would have
sold yesterday or last week.
Whatever is the lowest price an article should be sold
for is marked on it the first day that it is offered, and if
it is cheap it sells, and it is our experience that it does, and
when it is sold out we try to get something equally good, or
better, if we can, to sell at a lower price.
The goods in this particular movement, as shown by the price tags, are in some
instances from one-quarter to one-third off, but we are not trying to catch customers by
an advertisement of that kind. The goods are here for the customers to see themselves.
