SALE
In Our History

Amazing Values Still To Be Had

have held a sale like this before. Mei.a
chandise such as we carry does not deteriorate
in value—its value enhances with the years—
therefore it cannot be materially reduced except
for extraordinary reasons.
The character of this old established business is
going to be radically changed—some departments
discontinued, others enlarged or reduced in size,
etc. To this end our entire business is being
reorganized, hence it is imperative we reduce our
stocks to a fraction of what they are now.
You will long regret having missed this sale if you
do not come. Doors close on this sale at 5:30
September 3oth. Come before it is too late.
Many real bargains in sets and single pieces still
to be had.
