Monday We Begin Sending Home the Goods trom the
Alienist Furniture Sale
July Steps Down and
Off Tonight
After all the wonderfulness of our
effort to put a stop to rising prices by our
"Patriotic Movement" of May and June,
we had a more than normal July.
Now then for August
A Most Favorable Furniture
Offering
Actually Now on the Floors
Be It Remembered
that not merely this and that, but every
piece of our guaranteed good quality
of furniture now on the floors and as
much more besides in our warehouses, or
oil the rail coming along, is
Set f orthe August Sale and
Lowered in Price
The larger reductions have come
from negotiations with manufacturers,
growing out of our May and June
patriotic movement efforts.
So it is to be seen here that we have
made some progress in reducing prices
in certain directions.
It is fair to say also 'that the
furniture artists and builders are trying
to impress upon us that all of the best
woods are scarcer and the best workmen
are fewer.
