Please write or ask in store January Fur Sale ENTIRE FUR STOCKS WITHOUT RESERVE Our Sensational Decision to Sell at Cost and Below Cost! We have previously announced that Furs have reached their lowest levels. About six months ago Fur merchants had enormous stocks on hand. Then the break came. The banks demanded im mediate payment of all money due. Adding to the severity of this condition all manufacturing of Furs stopped suddenly on May 29th last, due to the strike. Skins could not be manufactured, conse quently there was no demand. Merchants needed money to meet their obligations. Then Prices Dropped!!! Right there we saw our opportunity and bought heavily for cash. On account of these cash purchases our prices for months past have been extremely low and it is from these already low prices that we make the wonderful reductions announced here. The keynote of the present situation is that Fur merchants have met their obligations, and, furthermore, the strike ended December 21st. Skins are being manufactured production is reaching normal the market is firm and prices arc rising. With this demand for skins, the wholesale Fur merchant will not sacrifice further indeed, he cannot, to remain in business. Our progressive policy demands that we clear our stocks at once. Our prices have been reduced to bedrock. The manufactur er's loss and our loss is your gain. Delay your purchase no longer. Buy here tomorrow!
