A Sale of Brass Beds
• That Affords Real Economy
Here are the reasons for this unusual sale:
These stocks were bought many months before the jump in
prices and were supposed to have been shipped to us in time for the
opening of our New Store. Due to traffic congestion on the rail
roads the shipment was delayed several weeks. By the time the
belated consignment reached us it was too late to serve our purpose.
To make a long story short the manufacturers made us a big price
concession to keep them. These price advantages we gladly turn
over to you.
Every Brass Red is of the very highest grade and is perfect in every
i espect and every one represents an extraordinary bargain as compared with
present prices. Study this list of savings—then come in and see the Beds—
you'll appreciate the values better.
$18.50 Brass Beds at $14.50 $32.50 Brass Beds at $25.00
$23.50 Brass Beds at $17.00 $36.00 Brass Beds at $27.50
