Annual Fur Sale
An Ihstantaneous Success!
. Pre-Season Savings of 20 to 45
Per Cent! v
Tf past years form a standard, the 1920
Anrm.il Fur Snip has nlronrlv nrnven a. most
iyfe stimulating' success. Large attendances
were tne recora on ivionaay, ana enormous,
purchases of Furs resulted.
The Savings are as large as they were
unexpected, for the Spring skin buying season
showed such vast increases at wholesale that
correspondingly large increases at retail
were looked for. But we proceeded with our
customary business caution, and later were
enabled to Vnakc our cash investments of
Skins at prices that showed great declines
from, those that obtained earlier.
The advantages are here for you today!
Manufacturing our own Furs, from -these
very Skins that we bought at practically our
own prices, we have reduced the costs "to such
an extent that th; following Remarkable
Values are possible:

Special Advantages of
the A ugust Furniture Sale
It is an unexpected pleasure, also, to be able to say "that, despite the
warnings from manufacturers during the past year, of their inability to
make Furniture as fast as they could sell it most of them having sold
ahead their output for the entire year 1920
We Have the Most Attractive and Best
' Selected Stock We Have Had in Years
We placed our orders -many months ago, and have been exceedingly
fortunate in receiving full shipments doubtless because we are regarded
by many manufacturers as their largest and most desirable customer in
this city. We and our customers arc fortunate also in THE SAVING OF
MONEY effected by our forethought and early activity in the market, for
We Could Not Replace Any of This
Furniture at Prices as Low as We Paid
As a matter of fact, it would be to your advantage to buy any piece
of Furniture in this Store at the regular price, considering the state of the
market and the present manufacturing costs. But the August Sale is a
regular fixed event, and we hold ourselves obligated to make it an event of
EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. Therefore, as in former Sales
Our Entire Stock of Furniture, Beds and
Bedding is in the Sale at Reduced Prices
Furniture for every room in the home great quantities, wide va
riety, beautiful designs', perfectly made and finished hundreds of Suits
and thousands of single pieces at less than our fair regular prices.
