ULHA DA1L WOULD, SA 1 UK DA Ik , MA 2'J, V.Y 0 3 PROFIT SACRIFICING SALE In which, we donate to our Customers our entire profits and in some instances sales at less than actual costs, to do our bit in helping to reduce the High Cost of Living. There seems to be no doubt that the public is tired of the "Death Dance of Extravagance." The Curtis Brown store, having always sold the highest grade apparel at the closest profit margins known anywhere, is now ready to do more than its part to help relieve the high cost of liv- ' ing not from a viewpoint of philanthropy, but rather as a feeling of incumbent dutv, to help our good customers bear the burdens of the hour, ' and with this one reason onlythat of a conscientious sense of duty, and a feeling of satisfaction in doing our part, we inaugurate these near cost, cost, and less than cost prices, effective until present stocks are sold completely. Complete Stocks of Regular Sizes, Stouts, Shorts and Slims The Curtis Brown store has never tried to see how much we COULD get for our merchandise, but how much we COULD give for the money, and how low we could keep our prices on reliable goods of known quality. We never before sold goods at so near the cost prices as we are do ing NOW. There's scarcely anything in our stock that can be replaced today at the price it is marked. And this smallest possible profit on the largest possible volume is the reason why this store is alivays busy and never com plaining about dull business.
