' TO-MORROW, TUESDAY, THE SECOND DAY OF
drawbridge & Clothier's Anniversary Sale
Greatest Money-Saving Event of the Year
We Have Retained the Confidence of the People Through ,
Fifty-two Years of Fair Dealing and Sincere Service
i .
And we assume an obligation to our customers that our prices shall not be higher, but average lower
than prices elsewhere for equal grades of merchandise at all times, and at this time each year we go a
step further and .obligate ourselves to make our Anniversary Sale surpass any reduction sale or discount
safe held anywhere else at any time.
. Thousands of Needed Articles Throughout the
Store, at Reductions of One-fifth to One-Half
i --.--- 1
This Anniversary Sale does not differ in method or plan of preparation from our Anniversary Sales of past years. But it is vastly
different in the greater reductions and larger quantities and variety of goods from many of the departments in the Sale. For years we
have made it practically a PROFIT-SHARING EVENT, reducing prices on our own stocks and procuring special lots at concessions in
price from friendly manufacturersand even this year not a few of these have been glad to co-operate with us to make this the GREATEST
SALE IN OUR HISTORY.
In order to. insure the same relative supremacy over all other economy events in this city as in former years, we have made-
More Numerous and More Radical Reductions Than in Any Former Sale
ing our custodiers a great advantage in the purchase of goods for present and
near-future needs. .This method sanely carried out, by graduated reductions
according to the size of the various stocks and available supplies in the mar
ket, does not disturb general industrial-progress, but tends rather to preserve
the balance between supply and demand bringing to light hoarded and
"cornered" supplies if such exist, and revealing the kinds of goods of which
there is a real scarcity.
AMONG THE MANY EXTRAORDINARY FEATURES OF THE SALE ARE THESE:
Our Entire Stock of Men's and Young Men's Spring Suits Reduced
We cannot justly claim to be actuated by "patriotic" motives in con
ducting this Sale. While it is true that we have done all we could to co-operate
with the Fair Price Committee in the past month, by voluntarily sacrificing
a considerable part of our fair profit, it has been directly in the interest of our
customers, with no thought of affecting cost of production or wages or raw
material prices, br any of the numerous primary causes of high prices?
But as retail merchants we can forego profits on stocks-on-hand, giv-
This means about 32,000 Suits, without reservation all our Stein-Bloch Suits, all Hart, Schaffner & Marx Suits, all "Alco" Suits, and all Sprint? Suits from other manufacturers
yes, o sPecial lots Pi-eviously.reduced, and about 8000 from our regular 'stock vLdT&I18
Our Entire Stockf of Shoes for Men, Women and Children Reduced
Shoes"t& of
Six Thousand Women's Dresses, Hundreds of Coats, Suits, Skirts and Waists Reduced.
Tens of Thousands of Yards of Silk, Wool and Cotton Dress Goods at Reduced Prices.
Thousands of Trimmed Hats in the Sale Hundreds of These at Half Regular Prices.
Thousands of Wool Rugs, Rag Rugs and Summer Rugs at Greatly Reduced Prices.
Muslin Underwear, Knit Underwear, Hosiery, Men's and Women's Furnishings Reduced.
Great Values in Linens, Bedfurnishings, Curtains, Furniture, Housefurnishings and China.
But look for the special Anniversary Signs throughout the Store. It is impossible to tell of the THOUSANDS OF DIFFERENT
ARTICLES in this unprecedented Sale. And you will find that many of these signs indicate a SAVING of ONE-HALF.
Each one of the following lines represents a number of different articles- in some cases one word stands for hundreds:
