OLAIN 'facts of the matter are that every Summer we make great
A preparations for four large fixed sales that occupy the month of
September.
These are sales of HOUSEWARES, CHINA, GLASSWARE
AND LAMPS and are specially planned for their assistance to
housewives who wish to replenish all such articles as these for the
Fall and Winter season.
The preparations are very large larger, we are told, than are
made in any other store on earth for such events.
And by the same token of the larger preparations the greater
are the advantages that are made possible to the customer.
Please note that these sales offer goods only of the highest
obtainable character with prices made lower only by reason of the,
magnitude of the operations.
These sales do not include "seconds" nor job lots, nor
"sale quantities" but goods of exactly the same character that
we have in our regular stock bought with the same degree of
confidence.
