There will be prices here for two weeks that may never again be possible. Many goods now in stock were bought before the New Tariff became a law. When they are sold no more can be had at the price. All these conditions will tend to provide Two Weeks of Unheard-of Bargains. ARGAINS are not made to order; they grow. Real bar gains accrue from big merchandise movements--where big buying is possible. We abhor trash. Quality must combine with quantity in the force of big stocks. Our buyers are not stinted for capital. We demand abundance and freshness in their goods. This broad basis is one of the fundamental principles aq.d foundations for our great venture here.
