', Mm . J 5'vl 'vl I wv The Opening Up of the New Era Starting With May 3 is destined to make a new record, lighting up a better way into our daily living. At the present moment our movement seems to have a place and a possibility with at least three nations of the world. It seems a long time since the declaration of peace. One year and 173 days since the Armistice until May 3, 1920, seems to most people far too long to get an understanding, that the producers of goods must not expect the war prices of commodities of all kinds to go on forever. To us it seemed necessary for somebody to take a positive stand and we decided to do it ourselves even if we stood alone. Today, tomorrow and next day bring to an end this chapter in our history, and we thank the public for its support in our effort for the public good, The people having had a taste of the fairness of our methods and the excellence of our goods, the new friends we have made will come in flocks to sec the displays of new things that are coming into the Store daily. This is truly a greater Store than they ever knew. Signed July i, mo.
