Tomorrow the Second Annual GIMBEL Sale of
The Widely Known INNOWion Trunks
$45, $55, $60, $65 Innovation 1 A f dQ K
Trunks. 1911 Model. All Perfect pWtJ
f f j
About a year ago we announced the first offering ever made of INNOVA
TION Trunks at less than their full prices. We were astounded at the result,
which overwhelmed us, and created what was probably the largest single day's
selling on record for Trunks.
We anticipate that the success of tomorrow's Sale will eclipse even that of
the former. And there are reasons why it will.
First, the Trunks are all in the 1911 Model, which divides in the middle,
while the trunk stands on end, like a wardrobe and chiffonier combined.
Second, they are all from regular stock, new and perfect.
Every style of Wardrobe Trunk made by the Innovation Ingenuities, Incor
porated, is included in this Sale in styles for Men and for Women.
Of these 1911 Models, there are precisely 289 Trunks
103 of the $45 Grade 68 of the $60 Grade
104 of the $55 Grade 14 of the $65 Grade
Tomorrow, All at $25 Each
In addition, we have secured from the manufacturer
200 Innovation Trunks in a
1912 Model
which we are able to sell at the same low price of $25.
The regular retail price of these Trunks has not yet
been determined; but in any event it will be consider
ably more than tomorrow's price, $25, which we can
offer as the result of a special concession.
