This Store was closed to the public yesterday, and yet it was like a busy bee hive from basement to top floor. Our work for the day was entirely concentrated upon INVENTORY, or "stock-taking," which was done with more painstaking care than usual. Inventory of every item of goods in the Store was made at the lowest possible figure at the price we paid where that was lowest, and at present market cost where -that was less than the price we paid. A general REVISION OF PRICES OF PRICES has been made on the readjustment basis. This involves a considerable loss of profit on most lines of goods, and an entire loss of profit on many kinds of goods. It also means somewhat reduced revenues to the Government in the disposal of goods on the new cost basis. But it means for OUR CUSTOMERS the establishing of a new price level in most lines, and a SAVING OF MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. This Unique Event Embraces Our Fixed Annual Under-price Sales of Muslin Underwear, Waists, Linens and Bedfurnishings; Our January Clearances of Men's, Women's and Children's Clothing at Greatly Reduced Prices, and a More Than Usual Number of Special Purchases of Manufacturers' Surplus Stocks and Close-out Lines, in Addition to the Re-pricing of the Entire Stocks of Some Departments. We cannot present full details or specific descriptions of the thousands of .articles in the January Sales at less than the original prices of 1 920. The re-pricing is progressing in many departments while this is being written, and hundreds of NEW PRICE CARDS are being made, to be displayed throughout the Store on Monday morning. The only details printed here will be the Golden Specials for Monday of which we shall present TWO each day for some days to come. Be it known, how ever, that there will be scores of GOLDEN NUGGETS OF ECONOMY in all parts of the Store, no less attractive in value, although in lesser quantities than the Golden Specials. Come to the Store on Monday Morning Expecting to Find a More Widespread Revision and Reduction of Prices Than in Any -uxcepuonai savings in all Departments Former Sale: Golden Special for Monday 9600 Women's and Misses' Fine CORSETS Rare Values At $1.95 The Golden Special sign points the way to a rare economy event, Monday.
