In fact, we have, in almost countless instances, more
enthusiastic co-operation on the part of manufacturers, in our
determination to make this OUR GREATEST SALE, than we have
had even in former Anniversary Sales. Our prestige in the market
is such that we are given preferential consideration by those who
have specially attractive lots of merchandise to dispose of quickly.
And' in many instances we are given price concessions solely
through a desire to help us make the Anniversary Celebration an
unprecedented success.
