This Price-Proving GROCERY SALE at Gimbels Is Far More Important than Those Great Sales of War-Released Foods We Conducted at Our Personal Expense, Selling Without Any Marked Profit Those sales were each made up of one to half dozen items. This price-proving sale offers scores of items. Both were based on helpfulness both that series and this sale enabling house wives to save largely. Any business that has prospered through public support owes a great debt to the public is faced by a responsibility that cannot be evaded. Far and wide has, gone up the cry that foods are costing too much that production costs are talked of chiefly as a smoke-blind to hide inordinate profits. Is the clamor based on facts? We shall see. Our prices in this sale arc inordinately low no business could endure that was conducted on this present basis. "Why do it, then?'' you ask. First: To do with our might our part in lessening (iving costs. Second: To see what reaction of prices will follow. If the market is sound; if recent prices have been justified, then the market will hold and sellers far and near will be purged from the ac cusation of profiteering. Where wrong exists, practices will change. We shall see. 15,000-Pounds Gimbels St. James Blend Coffee, High Grade, Limit 25-lbs. in 10-5 or 3-lb.
