"id THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, MAY :922. 7' 1 IK 1 M 1. W7ia Is Meant by "Lowest Verified Price Elsewhere'' When We Say It You find the phrase frequently in our advertising for instance: Sale ot Eyeglass Frames, $2.74 Lowest Verified Price Elsewhere, $4.00 You find it occasionally, too, in the advertising of other stores here and there in Greater New York. But the difference is that at Macy's it always means just one thing and never anything else. When we use it, it means that shoppers from our own Comparison Shopping Bureau have priced the identical or equivalent article at the leading stores in Greater New York andt that the price we quote as the "lowest price elsewhere" has thus been verified with all the sincerity and accuracy of which we are capable. Which is just another of the rnany safeguards that we provide for patrons who shop here in America's Leading Department Store. v- We Sell Merchandise of Taste and Quality at Lowest-in-thc-City Prices For Cash Only Exceptional Values in Girls' Taffeta Frocks; $7.44 Dresses that will delight a girl the very instant she sees ihem and that will continue to delight her throughout a long period of wear for aside from being made of cool and comfortable taffeta they are sprayed with silk applique flowers in charming manner.
