To begin with, I have the largest section in the house, and so it will be necessary for me to get a tremendous increase of business to get ahead of the smaller departments. To this end I have gone through our different lines of Suits, Coats, Skirts, Waists and Wrappers, and have marked them at prices so low that I am confident of my success in this Department Managers Sale. For I am bound to sell a lot of goods this month, even if I do not make much money for the firm. But that needn't bother you." 10.00 Suits for $6.50. Instead of half dozen makaa of $10 Suits at half a dozen prices of Ladies' Suits, we decided to put in all the differ ent lines at one price, $6.50 there ara 17 in the lot to ciiooae from. 15.00 Suits for SII.95.
