January Is the season when the

healthy business transaction.
They plan to gi#t out all the
Winter merchandise they can and
get ready for Spring.
Believing in the adage that
"Trade follows the price" they
act acordingly. What the ad

It more than makes up in pocket

The new goods are knocking
at the doors and you find th<
whispers of Spring creeping in
