Something .Like a Prairie Fire
Is Shown by
the other page (sec Page 11 of this newspaper),
giving news from all over the United Slate's of
what is going on. '
A long-suffering people hails with satisfac
tion and supports the beginning of a halt in
further advances in prices of food, men's and
women's clothing, and home furnishings.
This movement, which we have had the
privilege of leading from
A Sefise of Patriotic Duty-
is spreading a leaven of hope through thousands
of stores and workshops and in tens of thousands
of homes.
It is entirely ""differentiated from the usual
end-of-thc-scason sales;, where many articles;
like dresses and w,raps, arc always sold at half
price.
We arc in no hurry to sell off our splendid
stocks, which in many parts cannot be replaced
this season.
We could have doubled our selling force, but
we did not wish to add more people than rjould be
trained to wait upon our customers well.
There are signs in a few quarters of
reasonableness, with some of the makers of our
qualities of merchandise offering us shoes and
other wanted articles at lower prices.
Whatever bargains come to us, the people,
who know that they can depend upon our words,
shall have the full benefit of them, based upon the'
basis of actual cost.
We are paying cashvcvery day for more new
goods.. '
