August Sales
Are a benefit to the buyer or user as well as to the
seller. Modern business methods demand that every
dollar's worth of merchandise be sold out during the
season for which it was purchased. That is why busi
ness men call August the cleaning out month. To the
thrifty .August is a harvest time.
An example of what can be done during these sales
is to be found from our great
