For two years or more everyone has handled an unusual amount of money, but it
was hard to keep incomes increasing- i'at enough to meet the mounting prices. The game
grew too high in its stakes and a halt was called.
As in the beginning of it all, advances came unevenly; so in the readjustment,
declines came unevenly. Wheels of industry were slowed down, in many cases have
stopped.
Now, to start all wheels going again to build prosperity on a rock foundation; on
a complete range of lower prices.
It shall no longer take bales of money to produce goods or to supply the home
needs for here is
The Greatest Bargain Sale Philadelphia Has Ever Known
The sale will be of goods we ownreduced radically and of goods that mills arc asking us to distribute for them.
READY MONDAY with bargain news making as fast as we can print it.
