It Looks as if Women Knew This Good Old Dependable
Anniversary Sale Would Have the Best Values After All
And sometimes we catch a shade of resentment on tho faces of those who bouritt
early but not wisely, when they realize that our regular prices are lower than the reduced
prices elsewhere. It stands to reason that a store that can buy NEARLY ONE HUN
DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OP DRESSES, at great price reductions from

felt in the wholesale market and with the exception of a small number of Spring Dresses
we started off on June l8t with an i entire stock of New Summer Dresses of -all kinds shown
for tho first time. EXCEPTIONAL VALUE S IN THESE:

OR the past twelve years our Anniversary
Sale has been by far the most important
event of the year in Philadelphia. Each
year we make June the busiest month betw.een
the previous December and the November follow
ing. We shall do the same. this year, of course,
because we allow nothing that can happen else
where to shake our purpose to make this annual
Sale surpass any and every kind of reduction
sale in this city.
In former years the futility of attempting to co.ua!
or approach our Anniversary Sale in its benefits to the
public was, apparently, recognized by other stores.
Therefore, it is indeed gratifying to record that THIS
IS OUR GREATEST ANNIVERSARY SALE, despite
the fact that there have been and arc reduction sales of
various kinds all about the city.
And the unmatchable advantages presented by this
Sale become more pronounced as the weeks go by.
COMPARISON of styles, qualities and prices in the
many lines of goods in the Sale leaves no room for
doubt as to where the best values arc found.
This page contains only a part of the hundreds of
exceptional values for MONDAY.
