The Nation-Wide Campaign for Lower Prices Is
All of This Great
Newspaper's Pages Could
Not Contain
the words of letters, telegrams, printed
interviews, editorials, adverse criticisms and
favorable comments from all parts of the
United States on the patriotic movement
of May third
lowering regular prices on
twenty millions of dollars' worth
of fine, fresh, desirable merchandise
It is a pleasure to believe that the entire
population of America has had the privilege
of lower prices in their own town stores and
country stores alike.
Though the people at large have saved
in cash one-fifth of the usual purchase price,,
the storekeepers have been relieved of their
stocks and received money in hand to coax
out lots of wantable merchandise hidden
away, and turn it into cash, which some
people have told us helps to relieve the money
market.
There is assuredly less of a feeling of
unrest in the business world and fewer clouds
in the business sky.
The entire mercantile world was as free
to do as we did with whatever it owned.
The proposition of giving away your
profit upon a spool of cotton and all the way
up to a five thousand-dollar suit of furniture
or an old piece of tapestry was something
worth while.

Greatest Thing in the Business Lite ot
America Today
T y IS proving of immense public advantage that fact is now clear "beyond yea or nay:
It is an inspiring summons, to the better business minds of America.
Also, it is.no sham battle, it is the real thing; and everybody, whether manufacturer, wholesaler, merchant or con
sumer, who is not fighting on the right ide is fighting on the wrong side, whether he knows it or not.
The public has been feeling the pinch who can deny it?
Homes have been hard hit by the ever-mounting costs of things. Where 'is the American, whether employer ot
employe, who would dare to say that that was nothing to him?
The public has been patient, wonderfully patient.
1 One reason is because the great bulk of the American people, after all, are a pretty sane, solid and conservative
body, and they will suffer a good deal rather than risk a disturbance of the settled order.
x And yet, nobody moved; and up to now probably nobody would have moved had not one great business come,
forward, single handed and unheralded, and offered twenty million dollars' worth of standard merchandise-almost the
entire stocks in the Philadelphia and New York Stores at a deduction of 20 per cent from bona fide regular prices.
Here was something really American in conception and it has captured the whole country accordingly, criticisms,
however inspired, notwithstanding.
Welcome to all the people to choose almost anything in the house at a saving of 20 per cent one
dollar in every five.
