Tomorrow will begin the annual winter sale of winter and summer underwear and hosiery for men,
women and children, bringing 95,892 pair of stockings and 20,304 pieces of underwear at
Practically Half Price $90,450 Worth for $47,220
High prices won't come down soon unless they are hammered down and
here's a mighty blow !
A rousing old-fashioned sale like this makes it next to impossible for manu
facturers to maintain high prices. Who is going to pay regular prices when he
or she can get the same goods for half ?
Any member of the family can come in here tomorrow and get good
underwear or hosiery at average half price. There are garments to finish out
the Winter with or to get for next Winter, and there are garments for Spring
and Summer.
"Excepting about 10 per cent that represents special purchases, all these
goods have been taken right out of our own good stocks and reduced. In some
groups sizes may not be complete, but you can surely find your size in something
you want.
Women's stockings are on the West Aisle and women's underwear on the
East Aisle. All the men's goods are on t the Main Floor, Market, and all the
children's on the First Floor, Market.
