Prior to Our
August Sale of

Days of utmost importance to all who plan to select
Furniture during August for they afford an opportu
nity for leisurely shopping around and careful comparison
in order to determine just where the best values are tot
be had. As has been the case heretofore, proper use of
these inspection Days will mean GREATER SAVINGS
than anticipated and insure lasting satisfaction. There
fore, use them well. Do not decide until comparison has
revealed where your dollars will command greatest Furni
ture value. Compare 1 Compare! COMPARE!
In addition to our great regular stock at sub
stantial reductions from prices already down to the
new lower levels, we shall have many large special
purchases at the most extraordinary savings.
NOTE : It is not the purpose of this announce
ment to influence your decision in the matter of
where to buy Furniture during August. Its pur
pose is to emphasize' the necessity of CAREFUL,
OPEN-EYED buying at a time when every dollar
must do its full extra duty.
