Our Superior
* Buying Connections
We are affiliated with a buying connection which
insures us of being at all times in touch with the evo
lutions of whimsical "Dame Fashion"—thus the whis
perings of the style center of France are quickly
breathed into Harrisburg.
And in reference to price—we join hands with
concerns representing a purchasing power of more
than sixty million dollars annually. Think what ser
vice this means! We are right on the ground floor of
price—but we feature "quality merchandise" only—•
and this is the sort of merchandise you want to insure
the best and most for your money. And remember
what you get for your money is as important as
the amount you pay —a low price without quality
does not constitute a good trade. This is a quality
store, the merchandise that we sell must be good or it
does not enter our doors.
Such a policy is bound to bring
to you the best for the money
