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!
A Small Deposit Will Rcr.ervc Your Purchase in Our Storage Vaults Until Next
