: i This Strawbridge & Clothier News for Monday -'! Is of Vital Interest to All Who Desire to Save 1 It'. "' Last Saturday we made a plain statement of many of the'f actors entering into the cost of needed merchandise, giving undeniable proof that the causes of high prices were beyond the control of the retail merchant. At the same time we told our customers, that while our net profits were lower last year than in many of the years before the war, we would do what we could to ease the situation by sacrificing profit on many of the articles most in demand. We are carrying out our plan on a very extensive scale, offering hundreds of exceptional values, having the satisfaction of knowing that the greater the number of reductions in prices, the greater will be the benefits to the public. And, be it known that a REDUCTION IN PRICES IN THE STORE MEANS SOMETHING QUITE DIF FERENT from what it means where the original prices are much higher than ours. We have before us reports of more than ONE HUNDRED DIFFERENT ARTICLES on which OUR REGULAR PRICES ARE FROM TEN TO FORTY PER CENT. LOWER than the regular prices for the same articles elsewhere. Shop carefully and compare qualities and prices. This page is devoted to the great Sale of Men's Clothing, but the Monday morning newspapers will have our news of equally wonderful values in many other departments arid the special signs throughout the Store designate hun dreds of lots of goods at greatly reduced prices.
