If the splendid patronage of yesterday is to be a criterion of
success, this snlc of ours has enjoyed a very "auspicious" opening.
Wore Housefurnishings were disposed of yesterday than on any
similar day since the store began. For many reasons:
The stock is better than we have ever known it to be.
The assortment in most every line Is quite complete.
The prices arc down to the lowest notch of littleness.
The phenomenal selling is really only in its infancy. There
is to be no ' "let-up" during the month of August. If good goods
cheap will keep us busv, we sh ill be very much "engaged ' with
you during the next thirty days.
