' IlfTt --- "I- A "Thank-You" Sometimes Brightens a Whole' Day Not a day passes that .totters from a distance, and callers in person, do not give us cheer for our courageous performances in May and June. At one of the political conventions, a delegate tells us, there was a large representor tion of colored delegates, who sat silent for two days waiting leadership. A prominent white man said to a bright colored man; "What; arc you waiting for?" "I 'spose de major is waitin' fer der zoological moment," meaning the psychological moment. That the dates of our patriotic movement were well chosen as the psychological moment has been generally accepted everywhere. If the date had been submitted to the manufacturers and retailers, they would have kept up discussion upon it until 1921. Somebody had to take the responsibility and act, and that's what we haVe tried to do for a lifetime. The result is not unanimous, but it has been wholesome. You can now buy many things without advances that were planned, and you can buy shoes, clothing and many articles used by women at much lower prices than formerly. Prices temporarily stabilized will make losses for-those who defiantly refuse to let go. The buying public is larger and stronger than the capitalists, and mill-owners who insist on the old prices. All our buyers in New York and Philadelphia are without permission to place orders for future delivery at any advance costs. Standing solidly together against advances will compel retrenchments of expensive wartime organizations.' This Store will buy for cash, at lower prices, and at favorable times, and every article bought for less than' old rates will be marked a lower price to the people.
