THE VERMONT PHGENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1912. wwimi mmwm mimwi wmim GOOD MERCHANDISE MARVELOUS VAuUES IT PAYS, TO PAY CASH FIGURES DON'T LIE PROGRESSIVE METHODS CASH COUNTS LITTLE PRICES OF FENTON'S Without a Single Exception the Greatest Sale Ever Held in Brattleboro THE FOUR DAYS ARE TOMORROW, (SATURDAY, AUG. 3), MONDAY, AUG 5, TUESDAY, AUG. 6, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 7, THE LAST DAY This sale means something different and something more than any other sale announced in Brattleboro. It means that you can come here and buy goods of known quality from a store of unquestioned reliability at reductions seldom, if ever, equalled on merchandise of such high character. The Fenton Store will not carry goods over from one season to another. This means that everything must be marked down to a price that will insure a quick sale regardless of newness, desirability or cost. The sole object is a complete clearance and no thought of profit enters in. Our famous Ten Days Sales are known for miles around Brattleboro, and crowds of eager buyers have been in attendance since the opening. The public confidence in our word and in our merchandise is well merited. This great store deals in good merchandise which we sell at reasonable prices ; but all profits are thrown aside for our 10 day sales. Everything is sold during the season for which it was made. Everything must be turned into cash. Any man, any woman, any boy or girl, who needs anything at all to wear, can come here the next rour days and buy it tor less than they would expect to pay. The reductions we quote are from former selling prices and positively authentic.
