One-fifth less than the same goods will be next Tuesday morning. This is not to urge people to buy. It is not a sale we are making, but a sincere attempt to help those who find present- day prices burdensome. For seven weeks we have thrown our stocks open to the public, letting whatever was needed go out at 80 cents on the dollar. The money we got was turned into new merchandise wherever we could get it at old prices. Thousands of people have saved many thousands of dollars as a result of this movement. Many will want to make still further provision before it ends. This will be a busy week. Each day will be busier than the one preceding it. BEST SELECTION AND BEST SERVICE NOW; THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE IN STENCILED CRASH COVERS Some are Btenciled in water colors and others in oil. The former will not wash and the latter will.
