It is common te have people say "that there are no make-believes about your Stere."

Please think ever the great clearance of our high-cost stocks which we made four months age te prepare for recent events. We also put a stoppage en the inten tion te further advance prices. We firmly adhered te an edict te net be bound. We are net new, and w'Wnet be in the future, leaded up with heavy high-cost slecks. Ner will we suffer ourselves te take ever the sterages of manufacturers te rush big sales. Seme of us who were country boys remember that a warmed-up dinner of what was left of former meals never seemed very eatable and, as merchants, we shall net make up warmed-evers of merchandise, cut of date, shape and season, te be unleaded upon our geed customers. First of all, our merchandise must be of dcpendableness and of freshness. Second everything must bear the lowered price as fast as reductions can be secured- This Stere, with its opportunities te purchase for cash and its well known capacity te aid the manufac turers te dispose of large quantities of properly made goods, will always be favored as helpful te keep busy the workers they employ. We are net speculators or fancy advertisers just plain old-fashioned merchants. Be free te visit the Stere and judge it by what you see. 0$ fpmafc. Signed i'ev. 19, 1020.
