THE DENVER.--TH© Great Store of the West
THIS MONTH IT IS A FAIRYLAND OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
This store is built upon broad lines, serving with equal interest and
faithfulness the people of all degrees in the social scale —not in the
haphazard fashion of the ‘‘general store,’ but as an association of thirty
distinct specialty stores, each one of which has a managing buyer, who
is persistent, experienced and energetic in selecting and assembling the
most desirable of all that foreign and American markets offer in his
particular line.
No single-line store can be more efficient in its service to the
people than is each one of this congress of forty separate stores which
combine to round out ‘‘THE DENVER" to its symmetrical fullness and.
its capacity to serve every patron well.
OUR BARGAIN BASEMENT IS A TRUE ECONOMY SHOP.
"Cheap Goods Cheap" is not the mission of this Basement Bargain
Store. Its sole purpose is to supply to its patrons good goods at less
than usual prices. The proffered economies are safe and real because
the important price-saving and the Denver s unrestricted guarantee of
quality go together in every sale.
We want everybody in Denver to know our Basement Store from
personal observation, and to test by actual experiment the money
saving we advertise. THE BARGAINS ARE REAL BECAUSE THE
GOODS ARE WORTHY.
Come In often. You’ll see new thing* nt every vlait.
